Why is 6 months road tax work out dearer than 1 year?

The government charge more for 6 months, therefore it's cheaper to buy tax for year. This kind of deal from the government is leading those who are struggling to go into, if not further into debt, either buying a year as it's cheaper in the long run but causes some financial problems for low income families. It should be exactly half. It's the low income families that can only afford 6 months that get penalised...by their own government! They don't charge more paying TV license in instalments.
Additional Details
Surely the government could afford to lose the extra admin costs for those who can't afford the 12 months. They're screwing low income families. It doesn't make sense, this type of offer is commercial.

Totally agree, we had to renew our tax today and couldn't afford the 12 month option, so although we noticed the big difference in pricing we had no choice but to go for the 6 month version.

As usual it is the people on lower incomes who have to pay more to get less and struggle, while those with plenty of cash have far less problems and better deals on so many things.

JOHN jen

less administration on 12 months than 6

Nick P

It's fairly obvious. The paperwork which has to be done by the DVLA post office or whoever is the same for a six months as for 1 year so the longer period is cheaper. Also Government has the use of your money for longer.

Smoby J

I thought it was the another way around?

Cheaper to buy in 6months installments rather than the year, thats why i do it , because thats what i was told by many people.

libratracy

You get a discount for 12 months road tax - I taxed my car in July with a credit card that I got a 0% deal on for 12 months otherwise I would have done 6 months.

COLIN T

Because there is 2 lots of administraion time involved.

The government want all your money up front. The motorist is an easy target. Remember 68.5p of every litre of petrol you buy is tax. It is hypocritical of Brown to say the petrol companies are ripping off the motorist when the government behaves worse across9ss the board.

Regarding the TV licence is another rip off and the licencing authorities behave like the gestapo.

Michael G

It creates extra paperwork & therefor administration costs supposedly, that's why they charge you more!
