New Rules For Road Tax From October 2014

Pay Road Tax By Direct Debit
New Rules For Road Tax From October 2014

The Government has confirmed that the demise of the tax disc will coincide with a range of new rules.
To clarify, from October 1st 2014 no vehicle will be required to display a disc in its windscreen.
Even valid discs that expire (say) in January 2015 will be superfluous.
Why the change? Because discs are simply receipts that can be checked by the police to ensure vehicles are taxed.
This is no longer necessary as compliance is enforced via a computer-based database.
The Government has also revealed that motorists will be able to pay by direct debit annually, six-monthly or monthly.
Those that pay by instalments will incur a five percent surcharge and payments will continue until cancelled.
However, there will be some people that cannot pay in this manner such as those with first registration vehicles, in fleet schemes and with HGVs (paying the Road User Levy).

And there will be more changes.
Motorists that sell cars privately will no longer be entitled to offer the “unexpired tax” incentive that adds value.
Why? Because the absence of discs could make it easier for sellers to misrepresent how much tax is remaining.
So, sellers will have to claim refunds for remaining months from the DVLA.
Buyers will then re-tax online, at post offices, or via the phone before taking to the road.
