Re: The Car tax disc is to be scrapped after 93 years
New car tax means government to get 'double money', says AA
Quote:
The AA has complained that the new vehicle tax system will provide the government with extra revenue, as some cars will, in effect, be taxed twice.
From Wednesday, it will no longer be necessary for motorists in the UK to display a paper disc.
The AA said the new system will mean that in some circumstances the government will now get "double money".
However the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) said it would not bring in much additional revenue.
Website glitch
Customers trying to renew their Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), meanwhile, have had problems with the website.
Some, like Mike Dewsbury from Manchester, spent more than 13 hours trying to renew his VED.
"It's a joke. I need to get to work but legally can't because my car isn't now taxed," he told the BBC.
