Also the tax grabbing Gov has put in place that you can't transfer tax on a vehicle when you sell it..it has to finish with the previous owner and you tax it a fresh...BUT if it's 3 weeks into the month it'll only be back dated to the beginning of the month so the vehicle gets taxed twice for that period...refunds on tax disks are also slanted to making this happen...so effectively you can't tax a vehicle without being ripped off by the Gov unless it's on the last or first day of the month !!!!!!
Incredible they have taken a simple system and fiddled it to an almost criminal level !!! not only that but the systems to put this in place aren't even sorted yet at DVLA...so guess who'll get an atumatic fine for no tax when it all goes wrong...and wqe all know how accessable and fair fighting your corner is with the DVLA...
It's a shocking scam...and a bodge !!

Not having a visual reminder of the expiry date could be an issue - it must be saving a lot of trees with the sheer number of cars on the road though!
On a slightly different note, cars will look pretty strange without tax discs. Some of the holders you see are brilliant too!
I've just bought my tax disc from the Post Office, where I was told that they'd been told that reminders will still be sent out at the appropriate time, so we won't have the tax disc in front of us daily to remind us to retax, but at least we'll have something.
Can I put a plea in for people to buy their discs at the Post Office? If we don't use them, we'll lose even more of them.
They still will be issuing post reminders!
Also yif you sell a vehicle and there is outstanding tax on it you can apply for a refund not sure how! Maybe they should introduce a monthly direct debit and then you can cancel it when you sell and your not waiting months for a refund!

Just had my new disc through.
It came printed on A4 paper without any special effects as apparently the DVLA had run out of stocks so are printing their own. As all info is now held electronically this might become a collectors item in a couple of hundred years time?

On a side note, no mention has been made by the government as to how many people will lose jobs over tax disc abolition have they? printers and the like? or will they just have to unplug an automated printing press!?
just got a refund through for my old berlingo - £100 quid back - I was under the impression that the new system wont do refunds?
Really David? I was under the impression you would get an automatic refund for unused full months whilst the new owner would have to re-tax it including for the month they buy it. Only one version can be correct, not both but possibly neither. Has anybody looked into this properly folks?
