That means it will be cheaper to tax a vehicle as they won't have the admin and the printing.
I look forward to the reduction in my tax..........oh, I think I'm expecting too much.  Craig Rogers

I wonder if it will then become legal (because it isn't at present) to drive around in (say) a 1949 80" Land-Rover with a replica 1949 tax disc on display.

Monthly is going to be very handy for rarely used 'show' cars.

You can already check with DVLA the tax status of any car. |

think you have to still tax for 6 months.. but pay for the 6 months on a monthly direct debit so you cant tax just for 1 month |

Going to cost 5% more to pay by direct debit. Wonder what will happen if the banks have a hiccup and your
Ved isn't paid on time? Uncas |

If it costs more to pay by DD then whats the benefit? That's pointless. If you want to pay monthly then pay yourself every month to a different bank account.
Why guarantee the gov money for no benefit to you? Craig Rogers 2007 Puma 110 XS 2011 Evoque Coupe Dynamic Lux www.craigrogers.photography |

Err, as long as you've got a valid current tax disc on display, you can display a 'period' one as well. Nowt illegal about it at all. |
