Car Tax

[tuscan_v8]

Is it possible to pay monthly direct debit for car tax? Got 2 car that over 1.5 and expire at the same time (d'oh)

i dont think you can, i looked into this a few years ago. the nearest you can get is savings stamps which you stick on a card, and then hand that in.

I think it's just 1 x 12 month lump or 2 x 6-month lumps (which naturally cost more )

Ah yes, the staamps - but they've changed that scheme to one that's too complex to understand.

This is very 1960s, but you can buy tax stamps at the post office and save them up in a nice little booklet...

No, you can't pay by DD. I asked them about this and they said it was basically because people could in theory get the tax disc then cancel the DD. Best way is the stamps if you want to spread the payment or maybe do what I do and have a separate account for a car fund which you stick a few quid into every month. Doesn't cover everything but helps with some stuff.
