Tax Disc holder, now what?

[obcuz]

As you probably know, there'll be no more discs issued after the end of the month, so the disc holder will be redundant, pity the tax will continue though

You may want to consider and comment on what to replace it with!?

I've already got a few ideas but what about you?

 

[@Spoonie]

Nothing.

 

[Jaff.]

How about nothing and enjoy the clutter free windscreen

 

[McGherkin]

Is this in reference to the CS Store or your actual car?

Nothing is the answer for the car, the CS store would be a more interesting discussion.

This. Cars look so much nicer without.

 

[Vaughan]

Drink coasters? (A good way to get rid of any left-over tax disk holders too.)

 

[robhoops]

But I like mine, I suppose it shows that your vehicle is taxed and the cs tax holder look quite nice imo, shoudl replace it with another cs sticker

I've got to display a tax disc sized parking permit in my windscreen, the funny thing is that the permit shows that the tax on the parking space at work has been paid for so can't escape the b*****d tax part of it

 

[Leeshez]

I am going to display an out of date tax disc because i can .

 

[leeds2592]

My car's SORN and won't be on the road until after the changes so I've already ripped my tax disc and holder out of the car.

Looks so much tidier without it!

 

[imprezaworks]

A tax disc

 

[Mikeyjp]

Replace it with nothing lol, I can not wait to get rid

 

[robhoops]

I think they should scrap tax all together and then put a bit onto petrol, that way everyone will have to pay tax

 

[imprezaworks]

What happens if i do 4k a year and you do 40k?

 

[Freeman13]

What happens if i do 4k a year and you do 40k?

Would be more fair then as you are not using your car as much. Why should someone who just uses the car for summer months etc pay the same as a rep who is up and down the motorway everyday.

 

[robhoops]

Well I thought the way tax works is that that if your engine produces lots of co2, higher tax, so if im doing 40k and you do 4k, im producing more co2 menaing I will be paying more tax... a sort of pay as you go system for tax, the more you use the road, the more tax, the less you use the road the less amount of tax you pay...

Plus everyone has to pay tax that way as no one can get out of not paying tax and you wouldnt have to sorn your car as you simply wouldnt be using it on the road

 

[imprezaworks]

Can't see it happen, wish it did lol

 

[robhoops]

No I cant either, or if I did, it wouldnt be for a few years yet... btw nice car you have

 

[Fletcher]

Don't forgot some people own tax exempt cars anyway.

 

[CJ_RR]

Yes, I'm gutted my witty tax disc holder which reads 'yes I've paid my tax, no go fix some fcuking potholes' will now be redundant.

 

[ben_r1]

Richbrook must be crapping themselves.

Lol

 

[car.crash]

There was a guy on the radio yesterday who said his company will be down 300k a year due to the scrapage of the holder and he estimated halfords alone paid 1million pounds in vat on tax disc holders alone.

How much truth is in that I don't know.

 

[Owen92]

For the people saying they want to replace their holder with something else, bear in mind that obstructions placed in the windscreen can be an MOT fail. Tax disc holders have been an exemption.

 

[Timmsy]

I have to display my parking permit just above the tax disc holder so will just move that down so it's less clutter

 

[Beasley Clio182]

its a nightmare for me, how am i going to be able to tell if a customers car has tax or not before road test ? :S

That is what we will be using at work to check tax for retests and also collection/delivery of customer cars.

There is apparently one in beta testing for driving licence checks for when they go paperless as well. (Although the card is remaining)

There's been one for years, for businesses to check etc..

New and improved though

The one now, tells you what's classes and convictions you have, how long you've had the licence etc.. what exactly is there to improve, that's all the licence is needed for...

I'm not disagreeing just going with this from the DVLA in July

Organisations and businesses that check the driving licence counterpartDVLA is developing a new digital enquiry service for launch later this year that will allow organisations and businesses (such as employers and car hire companies) to view information they can currently see on the driving licence counterpart.


This new service will be offered in addition to the existing services, but is designed for those who have a business need for real-time access to the information and may not wish to call DVLA or be in a position to use an intermediary.


Driving licence information via this service will only be made available to those who have a right to see it, and with the knowledge of the driving licence holder.
