err its a no brainer
It isn't if you don't have the full amount readily available.

Does the tax run out end Sept?
In that case, renew for 6mths, so will expire end Mar 09. You can then renew for 12mths for £210.
From 1st April 2009, the tax on a 205g car will be £300/yr.

Thanks for the info. As people have pointed out previously, I suppose it's not too bad when spread over the year, all things considered...

Wait a sec...
If his current tax runs out at the end of september, and he buys 6 months now, then as you say it will run out at the end of March. His next tax disc will therefore begin in April, and he will be charged the new rate, not the old one.
To avoid the proposed new rates for as long as possible, he should buy 12 months now.

Yes, I believe you're correct. I was thinking he'll be buying it it March, but of course, presumeably, it'll be at the new April rate.
I just did this on my own car, but tax ran out end of Aug, so next one will be from 1st March. It's therefore now too late for anyonme else to do the same.
Regarding cashing in the exisiting disk and buying a new one - I too have seen comments that DVLA will make this harder in the new year.
