Nope, that's how it works unfortunately.

Yep, all discs run till the end of a month - if you want a full 6 months worth, then you have to tax on the 1st of a month

DD, it has been that way since they introduce the tax disk system.
6 months or 12 including the one you are in UNLESS you are renewing a tax disk. The ONLY exception is when buying a new car or bike that wont be allowed out of the dealers till the 1st of the month then you can tax it in advance despite not renewing it.
