 Date of VED changes - Crankcase
Today's post delivered my tax reminder, as it runs out on 31st March.

My little Aygo is only £35 anyway, so I can't really complain, but I knew that it ought to be £20 from April, so I was expecting the lower figure. However, the reminder (and online system) still asks for £35.

Although it's only £15 difference, I just rang DVLA to confirm, and it turns out that all the published figures say and literally mean "from April", NOT "from April 1st" which is what I had imagined.

Apparently it's not yet confirmed which actual date in April the changes will take place, unless she was spinning me a porky.

The long and short of it is that if the change happens on April 2nd or later, then I am liable for the current higher rate, not the new one.

Mouldy chizz, as Jennings would say.
