Yes my tax was due for April 1. You can't pay them more than 15 days
in advance. When I get a car, I avoid the insurance-tax crunch by
getting an initial 6 month disc. Costs a little extra but by the time
the tax is due the insurance is well sorted out. I usually get the new
disc on the day it's due but this time they get their money 10 days
early to save me money!
As John says, you have to keep such things in mind. Our tv licence is
similarly due in April to get the benefit before the next hike. Spot
the trend with monopolist money grabbers.
