Does the latest quoted prices stay the same now until next April?

Yes.  Prices only increase every 6 April. 24-25 stays at the current price until April 2027.

Not April 2026?

They stay at the in year price for 2 years after the end of the year then increase each year to the current year price until 6 years after the end of the year they cease to be available.

If you have a number of unfilled years have a look at the costs to fill.  There is always one year which is out of step with the rest.

It's as molerat states. Diagrammatically it is as follows (once the concessions for those waiting for a callback have ended). The light brown shaded items are those where it is still in time to pay at the original tax year rate in the relevant year and the light green shaded items are those that are payable at the current year rate.

That is 100% correct.  We are in 2025/26.  2023/24 and 2024/25 retain their original cost of £907.40 for this year but years before 2023/24 cost £923.

If you were answering the post I deleted Thanks.  I had read across the wrong line and thought 22/3 in the table was at the lower rate.

I had hoped no-one had noticed.
