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. -- Old anti-spam address cmylod at despammed dot com appears broke So back to cmylod at bigfoot dot com
