[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

What was so very wrong about buying and selling cars with road tax in place?

None of this pissing about trying to tax the car before driving it home after buying it.

I agree

It was a straightforward system, and after all, once a vehicle is taxed that should be it.  No, it has been said before that this is a money making scheme for Gov.UK

Yes Lizzie.....I paid £47 for 30 days tax in September. Because the car was sold on the 13th I had to pay a further £47 for the remaining 17 days.

Rip-off Britain. This little government scam must bring in millions.

They have to get the money from somewhere now nobody is smoking or drinking anymore

How much road tax do you pay on the Datsun, Mr Gav?

[STEMO]

But in the 60’s through till the 80’s people just didn’t bother taxing their cars. If caught, the punishment was pay the back tax plus a small fine. I’m sure we all remember ‘tax in the post’ or even a Guinness label.
Now, once a car is registered to someone, there’s no getting away with it.

[Doctor Gollum]

Is there anyone around the barnsley area who could come round and punch me in the face? If not, I’ll have to do it myself.
My old astra’s tax was paid monthly by direct debit...which I cancelled when I bought the new one. Obviously, no refund due 

Next time I am passing

Trouble is the DVLA only work in whole months. Which is good for them and expensive for us.

Many years ago I had a mortgage that only calculated the amount paid every 12 months.Therefore I was paying interest on money that had been paid back months previously. This is now not allowed.

Surely you should have a long queue!

It would probably resemble the scene from Airplane

So about the same as when HMRC owe you cash.
