From our Parliamentary Correspondent

THE Finance Bill proposes to shorten the time in which claims for money overpaid or underpaid on some vehicle excise licences can be put in. At the moment the Vehicles (Excise) Act of 1949 says that these claims must be submitted within a year following the year in respect of which, or of part of which, the licence was taken out.

Now the time limit is to be altered to 12 months beginning with the end of the period in respect of which the licence was taken out.

This will not affect licences taken out for a full year, but would in some cases cut down the claim time for licences taken out for shorter periods.
