Purchasing car tax this month.? Be warned!!!

According to the government website the max your car tax will go up this year is £30 depending on C02 emmisions. However, ours has gone up by £35. So do not do what I did and go in to the post office with the correct money that is stated on your V.E.D renewal form.

The reason for the discrepancy is because in 2009 the VED went up in May and this year it has been brought forward a month and thus netting our wonderful government a calculated £1666666 in additional tax from us gullible mute motorists. I guess the additional money will be put to good use!

I noticed this yesterday when I taxed mine on line it was £15 dearer than the form. A bit cheaper than the £35 you quote but then mine is a 10 year old diesel guzzling, planet killing, child murdering 4X4.

Mine was the other way round last night - the form said £120 and the website said £110 (for the honda - not the fezza!)
