How will you lose a week and a half in tax? Surely when you buy 6 or 12 months it starts at the end of the month so doesn't mater if you buy it now or the 31st?

Also if you have a renewal form with a price on I doubt they can get away with puting it up?

It starts the day after your old tax finishes, I'm not sure if you can renew without the renewal form but I may be wrong?

Yes you can.. It's just that you would have lost 17 days worth of tax on the current month.
