Having just bought 12months road tax for a new car I pick up Saturday it got me thinking.

I ticked 12mths paid for 12mths but I get 3 weeks less because it expires at 31 Dec 08. Okay not the end of the world but surely as Road tax cost has increased this will get more of an issue.

Surely they have miss described there tax and I should have paid £11.83 less....

Could you not have picked the car up on the 1st of Feb and started the tax from then?

You appear to have not noticed that Govt are bunch of con merchants when it comes to paying tax.

The same goes for when you get it refunded - full months only sir. Why? Oh wait, to make more money.
