I thought it was an offence not to display a tax disc ?

That is what I am saying, if a car is parked outside my home for days or weeks on end at least now I can check if it is taxed, if the disc is done away with I can't.

Well, according the NAO, it costs around £550 million per year to run the DVLA, which administers the VED.

Re: The Car tax disc is to be scrapped after 93 years

I suspect you misheard him

Re: The Car tax disc is to be scrapped after 93 years
 

If you haven't got those details, then how are you going to report if it is out of date?

And if, as you say it's parked there 'for days or weeks' then it's going to still be there once you have checked it online.

Nope his words were, "it costs more to process than what they get back."

why would you want to check a vehicles VED status ?,if it isn't taxed they automatically get issued a ticket and eventually towed and possibly crushed as with insurance .

Re: The Car tax disc is to be scrapped after 93 years
 

You are misssing the point at the moment I can walk past a vehicle and in seconds check if it is taxed, if it is out of date then I can report it to the authorities.

Re: The Car tax disc is to be scrapped after 93 years
 

And how often has that actually happened?
