Have you ever taxed your tow car for 6 months and felt the pain?
I taxed my car for 6 months costing £112-75p.
The first rip off is that it cost's you £20-50p extra to do that twice rather than tax your car for a year.
Most people who tax 6 months at a time do it because they can't afford £205 for a years tax in one go!
I taxed my car as I was selling it on and had every intention to get a refund on the months left on the tax disc.
Now comes the second RIP OFF!!
If you apply for a refund of a tax disc, you get refunded at the 12 month rate which in my case of a 4 month refund left my out of pocket by £6-83.
Point being.
If you got refunded by a supermarket in a simlar way for example, two cans of coke bought seperately at 60p per tin, but refunded at the 12 can multi-pack price of 39.9p, you would be annoyed and rightly so, because it would be in breach of trading standards.
Also isn't this yet another example where the less well off get hit hardest?
