New car tax pricing

[Kirk156]

Just got my car tax renewal in, due at the start of May.
It still has the old price on it, went online to pay and obviously new increased price here!
Just how farcical is this country, they've only been talking about this for the last month yet someone can't update the feckin system!!!!

It's normally because the process of printing them out and posting them starts before the budget is delivered.

Yes I've been caught out by this too.

Also whilst ranting about DVLA, I found out yesterday evening at 7:02pm, the DVLA v5 transfer system is only operational from 7-7. WTF, think how many private sales must take place in the evenings. Having to wait until the morning to piss about with doing the V5 then the VED... when you've got a new toy sat outside is cruel.

Great .... so the Gov goes from being useless to super efficient.....
Printing out forms more than 3 weeks in advance........
