No More Tax disc’s!!

The changes are expected to come into effect in October 2014. It is estimated that motorists will be £20million a year better off thanks to the move, with businesses saving £7million in admin costs.

The disc was introduced in 1921 but officials say it is no longer needed with the DVLA and police now relying on an electronic register.

The new system will allow people to pay the charge by monthly direct debit. The new option of paying by monthly direct debit is also expected to cost 5% more than paying for a full year in one go.

A Treasury spokesman said: “These changes mean it will be easier to tax your car, and cheaper than before to do it by instalment.”
