So, knowing my Subaru is due tax I went on line recently and taxed her up for the year..a gut wrenching £535 to the DVLA, funds of course which will be used for road improvements and other great causes!
Anyway, I got my reminder from them shortly after and it quoted the figure of £515, I queried this and they said the reminder letters are sent out in advance of any changes that Mr Osbourne decides are necessary to fleece people further so the rate I paid is correct for 2017.
I said send me a refund (car taxed till end of April) and I can re tax if from the DVLA reminder letter at the lower rate and they said they cant do that, £20 is not much on the grand scheme of things but dont see why motorists can get ****ed aroound like this.
They reply to my query about a refund was of course they cant!
How much money are these guys raking in makes you wonder.
On a side note, I am coming up to a years ownership of the SpecB so will do a write up soon as its a really awesome car! whatever about the tax.
