End of the tax disc
 

I think it comes into effect from the 11th of October? Either way you will not receive a tax disc for your car anymore. Always annoyed me if I was waiting for DVLA to deliver the disc and possibly have some council jobsworth stick a ticket on me for failing to display a ticket even though my vehicle was taxed.

1st October I believe.

Brill. My tax expires in October.

Anyone want my soon-to-be-defunct Richbrook ally tax disc holder (with 'STi' subtly etched on the twist-off retaining cover)?

:lol1:

So hang on, iv just bought six months, what happens in October

You'll no doubt have to still display it.

Then, when you renew next time, you'll be 'in the system' and be able to enjoy a discless windscreen lol

Post it my way, we have to display a mot disc
in our cars here in NI.

You can just remove it. The road fund is still paid, you just no longer need to display the disc.

I would of thought NI would have the same ruling about tax discs if your under the UK laws?

Tax disc yes, but we also have to display a MOT disc
aswell.

Can you wait till after Nov 1st? Is that okay?

You'll invariably need to buy 5 new little clear plastic sticky discs though...

I wonder when the DVLA are going to tell everyone this is the case :Suspiciou

No problem mate, it will look better than the
crappy two disc plastic holder I have at the mo.

Cheers :thumb:

Cool. Yeah they do look tidy.

I'll set a reminder on my phone to PM you at the time, so as to get your postal address. :)

(BTW, you don't need the 6 Allen bolts in that kit, as mine is the much-easier-to-use twist-off affair (with the 5 'dummy' Allen bolts in the cover :thumb:).

TIP: Ensure you first clean the area of windscreen with alcohol wipes, or meths or whatever. :thumb:

Granted they are not exactly shouting about it..... maybe they need to add it to the terrorist threat ;)

Obsolete just in time then. Mine's only got two screws holding it together, all the others have fallen into the screen vents

Got some aircraft glass cleaner that's used on passenger
jets so no worries there.

That's some serious Roadrunner cartoon-like 'ACME' industrial strength stuff, I'm guessing? :D

So come the 1st I can just remove the disk from all my vehicles and some jobsworth can't ticket me ? As I was sure it was later :)

I'm taking mine off on the 1st just in the hope it will start the neighbours off :D

Squirt on and polish off and jobs a good un, also good for
cleaning the house windows and mirrors aswell.

Formulated to leave no streaks whatsoever.

Buy some. Tomorrow."

Can't say I've seen any tv advertising or even in newspapers ( although I don't often read a newspaper).

Could do with a good old fashioned Public Service broadcast.
Preferably without Rolf Harris.

Yes and yes :eek: :D

From October, you can also pay it monthly with a 10% interest.

itll make it easier for dodgy people to "plate" cars, just get a set of reg plates made up for there untaxed, uninsured car and everytime they go through ANPR it wont flash up

It would do exactly the same now although the tax disk won't be legal but I doubt people who do this will care.

And don't forget the nice little change that from October any remaining road tax will not transfer to the new owner with a vehicle when you sell it.

Instead, you have to get a road tax refund on any tax remaining on the vehicle, while the buyer will have to pay to re-tax the car, BUT (and here's the government's clever bit) you can only get a tax refund on any whole months remaining whilst the buyer can only tax the vehicle from the start of the current month.

i.e. if you sell a vehicle on 15th October and it's taxed to 31 December you get November and December's tax back, but not Octobers' whereas the buyer has to pay for October thereby meaning the government get an extra month's tax.... apparently this will net them a nice £65 million a year.

As with any UK government of recent times no change like this is ever made without it costing us the public more money and adding to their tax revenues that they then waste. W4nkers the lot of them!

Hey, but that'll go into fixing up the roads

Yeah, I remember that. :Whatever_


By the way, in your example ;) it should've been e.g. ;)

Yes and it's also October's, but I couldn't be ar5ed

Pendants of the world, unite. :D
