- From 1 Nov you can pay monthly - but it'll cost more. The ways to pay change on 1 Nov. You'll have the option of paying by direct debit annually (in which case the cost remains the same) or on a six-monthly or monthly basis (in which case there's a 5% surcharge). Or if you prefer, you can pay a flat fee for just one year or six months (if the latter, there's a 5% surcharge, down from the current 10%). Payments can be made viaGov.uk from Wed 1 Oct, or at the Post Office from Sun 5 Oct.
- Road tax is no longer transferable. If you sell your car, the buyer will need to buy new road tax for it even if the existing tax hasn't expired. You'll get an automatic refund from the DVLA for any remaining full months of road tax (although if you paid in monthly or six-monthly instalments, you won't receive a refund on the 5% surcharge).
