Just paid £285 on line for road tax starting 1st October.

Under the new regulations I don't need to display a tax disk so therefore they won't put one in the post

Really not sure I am comfortable with a system where the penalty for not taxing & insuring is having your car crushed but they can't be bothered to send me something tangible to acknowledge that I have jumped through all the hoops

The DVLA computer will now display the fact to all interested parties you have paid your tax and as you paid online you must have a record of the debit/credit card payment.

So do not worry the ANPR system should not ping on your car.

Computing errors do happen though don't they. But hopefully they'd give you the chance to prove yourself (via bank statement for example) before they crushed your car erroneously

We will all be in the same position soon , relying too much on technology. I think  the paper disc is best, but it is a good way of making a few more redundant..

Ah, I love that word. Used all the time in IT whenever there's a chance it might go wrong but you don't really want to say that. I.e. all the time..

You will be sent an email saying that you have taxed said vehicle. 

[05omegav6]

Only if you enter your (optional) email address

Yes but you can opt out of junk mail so no probs with crap I have done this for the last 5 years

[05omegav6]

Got that just highlighting the fact that being optional, people might overlook the address and then wonder why they received no receipt

I did that and I have the email which I printed and stuck in the glove box - I still don't like not receiving an official document
