Answer 1

Blimey that's a hard one, said Eve to Adam, but I'm stumped on your prob mate!

Answer 2

mine was due end of march and because of the news saying i'd be clobbered £400 i taxed it the morning of the budget at the old price however a friend tried the same thing in the afternoon and had to pay the new rate so it seems a good idea to retax on the morning of the budget. when it goes up next year you can surrender what tax you have left get a refund then retax for 12months so avoiding the increase for another year

Answer 3

You're making me panic now - I though it had gone up to £200 not £300.
I don't believe it is possible to renew your tax so far in advance. I think it is something like 2 weeks before the tax is due for renewal.

Answer 4

Your tax never went upto £300 cause your type R is a clean efficient engine. Mine went up to £300 though cause its a not so clean, but it is very fast so worth the extra.

Answer 5

Your car tax will be £205, not £300. It's group F not G.
