This is a news story from a couple of days ago that i really didnt pay any attention to, but did you know that you are no longer required to display a tax disc from 1/10/14?
The paper tax disc is finally getting the chop due to the advances in online checks made available to the Police.
Naturally you are still required to pay vehicle excise duty, however payments can now be made online, or call an automated 24/7 phone service, or you can still do it at a Post Office, you just wont get a "disc". You can even chose monthly payments for an extra fee.
Also you can no longer buy or sell your car with tax on it. From 1/10 it will be your responsibility to Tax the car, so you won't be able to haggle with a salesman to get 6/12 months tax thrown in with the deal of buying the car. When selling your car you must remember to cancel your tax, if you dont you could face a fine of £1000 - what a con !!!
So no more sticky holders on your windscreen - thats just put a company out of business !!!
DONT do anything though until 1st October, you can be fined up until then for failure to display your disc.
