Random Irritations

though we’d pop to pub for one before shopping. Nice day again, I’ll get my good sunglasses out.
Don’t know when I last wore them or what I was doing but they’re dinged and noticeably scratched so had to order a new pair.
 
Car tax. For health reasons my dad has decided to stop driving and very kindly has given me his car. I've been online to tax and insure it and had to start the tax from 1st April even though it's the middle of the month. And because it's not the start of the month he can't claim back this month's car tax payment so the government have received double the car tax for April.

I'm confused. If the vehicle is already taxed till the end of the month why do you have to tax it again. Has the DVLA changed the rules?

Tax being non transferable means any change in ownership comes with the requirement that the new keeper tax the vehicle.

They never changed the month start/end rules that have always existed whilst changing all the other rules to make it seem "fairer" but its purely for their benefit.

The amount in "doubled tax" that's bound to have been paid since I have no doubt is staggering.

Sneaky! I wasn't aware of that change ?
