colly0410 1,181 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Been looking at cars & vans today & saw one without a tax disc, not many people seem brave enough to take them out of the windscreen. Keep saying I'm going to take mine out but it seems so naughty, (not done it yet, I keep forgetting) we've had it drilled into us for so long about what'll happen if you don't have a tax disc.. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Engineer 614 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Do you suppose most people just haven't seen it in the news? Took my disc out on the 1st - the sticky mark left where I pulled the holder off took some cleaning! There'll be a bit of extra tax for the coffers when a vehicle changes hands: As a seller you get an automatic refund of unused months when you advise DVLA that you have sold. As a buyer you must pay for the current month onwards - so both parties pay for that month. Where we used to sell a car as T&T, is it just T now? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
colly0410 1,181 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 A cop pulled me over for a duff back light, I thumped it & it came on, he said "now thump your windscreen & see if a tax disc pops up!" Oh, that joke doesn't work anymore.. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Been looking for a car myself, Buy one with a years MOT. Then next year it is Road Tax, Insurance, & MOT all at once. When I buy a car I could take the option of paying 6 months Road Tax instead of a year to break the expenditure up a bit next year, but that way costs more. Somehow I might not bother, four weeks away from a Bus Pass ! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Pianoman 1,535 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 You pay monthly by DD now too. That will also cost you more. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
colly0410 1,181 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 You pay monthly by DD now too. That will also cost you more. Yet Gas/electric/phone/broadband are cheaper by DD, weird.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 TV licence costs more by DD as well. Roll on the revolution. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
colly0410 1,181 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Ahh just twigged: Road tax & TV licence are normally paid in advance but gas/leccy/broadband/phone are normally paid in arrears, the crafty buggers.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,488 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 but gas/leccy/broadband/phone are normally paid in arrears, the crafty buggers.. I'm with BT for broadband and phone. I pay line rental in advance and get a big discount. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
colly0410 1,181 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 I've done it, I've finally gone & done it: I've removed the tax disc from from the car windscreen, I feel so brave. But why do I feel like a bad lad?? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
