i've just got a letter for my tax renewal. on the paperwork is says £99 for 6 months or £180 for 12 months.
Thought i'd do it online so its sorted but online the prices are showing 101.75 for 6months and 185.00 for 12months 
Do i pay a charge for renewing online?

Yea the paper work must have been printed before the new budget was announced

It's just because of the budget. Completely shonky business practice and it does smell somewhat, and normally I would suggest complaining. In this case though I don't think you'll get anywhere.
