That would explain it.
but it doesn't say if it works by the direct debit for the next 6 months comes out now. or in 6 months time.

even doing it on the website it's not telling you anything.
all the way to the end you still don't know any prices or when and if.

You've confused me.

Just supposing the (one off payment) direct debit 6 month £149.63
was taken today.
they haven't shown the price with the 5% charge on top.
with that it's £157.11

what if it's took 6 months away from now?
what happens if you sell the car before it's due to be took out?
you've had free road tax?

it's all nonsense. put it in plain English FFS!

As it is. and the way they've done it. it looks like it's deliberately done to mislead and confuse people.
