Re: UK tax disc abolished
The MOT system is all electronic now too. This is how one can tax a car online now - MOT and Insurance databases are checked. This info is also accessed by the Police using their ANPR camera's......

Re: UK tax disc abolished
My tax disc serves as a reminder to me to update my tax along with the letter that comes through the door. Not having a tax disc on my car will more than likely mean I will forget as its something I glance at regularly. It saves the paperwork for the DVLA but no doubt the prices will increase slowly.

Once the car tax is renewed, I completely forget it's there, and only remember to renew when the brown envelope arrives.

Re: UK tax disc abolished
Even though it's enforced by ANPR these days there are still many many evaders. Why not dispense with all the admin and stick it on petrol? I know nobody likes high fuel prices (even though they'll happily pay £1.49 for a 500ml bottle of Coke while they're topping up), but if you paid via the pump you couldn't evade unless you got handy with a syphon; and it would be truly fair as the more you used you car, or the less efficient your driving, the more you'd pay.

Re: UK tax disc abolished
Because it would end up costing me a lot more than the £20 a year I currently pay

In Finland we have this great extra diesel tax, it's basically collected to offset the lower price of diesel, For my civic it's a tad over 400 EUR/year.

Re: UK tax disc abolished
Strange. Here the tax for petrol and diesel is identical however diesel is always more expensive.

They aren't promoting future EV. They are promoting Lancia. As long as the car looks like what you are selling, no one cares how it moves.
