So after the fun and games with the car insurance the other week, see previous posting; I wasn’t expecting this today.
I got a letter from the DVLA for the car tax payment and thought that was early, as we got the car in January and then I saw the amount and I thought this was a spam letter.
So I logged on the government website to pay and I got to the price section and yes my car tax was £560.
I rang them to find out why, but whilst waiting, I found something on the site and it was down to the value of the car. This had actually been in place since 2017, I thought they kept that hidden well.
The other great thing is, this is cost for the next 4 years as well, before it drops down to the normal tax, which is £180 at the moment. I thought having a hybrid car would reduce the tax.
There goes Claire’s Christmas presents.
