Who new?
Just found out due to off another scooby member cp jack sparrow that there will be no more tax discs end of this year, who new?
DVLA will offer motorists the ability to spread their vehicle tax payments should they wish to do so. For vehicle tax starting from 1 November 2014, motorists will be able to pay vehicle tax by direct debit annually, biannually or monthly. There will be no additional handling fees for annual payments but to limit the impact on the public finances there will be a small surcharge of 5% of vehicle tax for biannual and monthly payments. This is half of the 10% surcharge that is currently applied to 6 monthly tax discs and which has been in existence for a number of decades.
Also from 1 October 2014, the paper tax disc, first issued on 1 January 1921, will no longer be issued and required to be displayed on a vehicle windscreen. Vehicle tax will still need to be paid but with DVLA having a digital record of who has and has not paid, a paper tax disc is no longer necessary as proof that vehicle tax is paid. The vast majority of motorists pay their vehicle tax with latest figures confirming that over 99% of motorists’ tax their vehicles on time… Most on-road enforcement action is now based on using Automatic Number Plate Readers. These cameras use the number plate rather than a visual inspection of the tax disc. The police also have access to DVLA records via the police national computer. There are significant savings for fleet operators and other businesses from not having to handle the administration of tax discs.

I'm just going to put random old tax discs in the holder.
I bought one of the SN tax disc holders, it's used for a parking permit.

I heard about it months ago
I wonder how many vehicles that are legal will be cloned?
surely someone wanting to drive illegally will just buy a silver focus and then copy the plate of a legal car, hey presto, all legal via the ANPR cameras and no more trying to make a dodgy tax disc

Knew.
It was in/about the time of the Budget I think.
Saves a fortune in printing costs for DVLA/Government.
The missus' number plates are going onto my car
(First ever Scooby, emissions so low as to warrant £0 VED)
