From the DVLA Swansea On the 5 December 2013 it was announced that the government will change the law in 2014 to reduce tax administration costs and burdens associated with vehicle tax. From 1 October 2014, the paper tax disc will no longer be issued and required to be displayed on a vehicle windscreen. Vehicle tax will still need to be paid. A paper tax disc is no longer necessary as proof that vehicle tax is paid as DVLA has a digital record. If you have any remaining months left on your current paper tax disc from 1 October 2014, you can either remove the tax disc from your vehicle or display the disc until it expires. Checking the tax status of a vehicle You can check the tax status of any vehicle online. DVLA will still notify you when your vehicle tax is due for renewal. You will still need to renew your vehicle tax if your vehicle is exempt e.g. historic tax class. Buying or selling a vehicle When buying a used vehicle you will be able to use the V5C/2 - new keeper supplement to pay vehicle tax at a Post Office branch, along with the MOT certificate (if applicable) and fee. From 1 October 2014 you will also be able to pay vehicle tax using the V5C/2 online or by phone. When selling a vehicle to a new vehicle keeper, the vehicle tax will no longer be transferable. Vehicle tax will end when a vehicle is sold and the new keeper will need to get the vehicle taxed immediately before the vehicle can be used. If you have been paying your tax annually or every 6 months, you will get a refund for any full calendar months left on the tax period when you tell DVLA you no longer require tax. Hope this helps everyone in advance of the changes. DDS Cars
