Has anyone bothered removing there tax disc following October 1st new rules?

Quote:
'If you have any remaining months left on your current paper tax disc from 1 October 2014, you can either remove the tax disc from your vehicle or display the disc until it expires'.

Not yet, but I might do... if only to wind up the council when my car goes in for its 6 monthly tomorrow

I have,well I taxed it yesterday and didn't get a discount so that's that then

[plym ian]

No I haven't removed it yet.

Might just leave it in there forever as a reminder of happier times

I haven't displayed one for months since they sent me a sad piece of cheapo crap as they had stopped printing proper discs

Saves 10million a year apparently, according to Dvla bod on bbc news.

Weird, I taxed mine at the end of August (for 1st Sep) and got the exact same disc I've always had; little round perforated thing you punch out of the piece of paper..

Disc not discount

A step in the right direction going discless but the government missed a trick. Should have gone further and made whoever owned the car on say 1st Feb pay a full years tax which stays with the car regardless of who owns it. No refunds except if car gets SORN or written off.

The new system in the UK penalises buyers and sellers depending on when you buy and sell in a month. More admin as well just daft.

Yes, it couldn't be that hard to calculate tax refunds to the day rather than to the month, could it?   

I wonder how much extra revenue will be generated by all those vehicles that will be double taxed when bought and sold. 

Bastards!! 

[Lizzie_Zoom]

Yes!

I have been waiting decades to do that!

Now let's go for the abolishion of the tax complete!

I took mine out yesterday at about 4 o'clock. I wanted to feel like a rebel again, if only for a few hours.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Yes!

There is optimistic ........and then there is delusional.

Unless of course we raise the tax on petrol. .....so the more you drive the more you pay.

I'll wager you were a real 'scally' back in the old days, Steve.

[05omegav6]

What do you mean 'back in the old days'... He's old now

Removed mine, and the council chappy asked to see it as the Dvla site has crashed, so he couldn't check it online

Fortunately I hadn't binned it...
