Car tax reminder came through yesterday - another £220 saved!

Wouldn't it be nice if they just sent a disc, instead of a reminder letter requiring you to jump through a few hoops...

yeh did seem a bit mad still having to go through the motions of applying - just keeping us used to the process I suppose until they start charging again!

Can't wait for them to get rid of the entire physical process, it's daft.

October it's being abolished

Can't wait we have to distribute 4,000 tax discs every year. it's a real pain as all sorts of things happen like I washed it in my trouser pocket or believe it or not the dog ate it!!!

I guess since our company has paid for it, then it's not treated with a huge amount of care.

Great time saving when the change comes in. You'll still need to do all the faff of applying online even for £0, I think they just won't send you a disc.

If only that were true!
They will still send a renewal reminder letter.
You will still have to jump through the renewal hoops on-line or in a post office..
You will get nothing to show for your efforts...

WHY?!! just auto renew! - save the postage on the reminder and my efforts.

why not a monthly direct debit, instead of one of payments, might make it easier for some who struggle to pay

 

[Guesty]

Hmmm, or add it to insurance premiums and make the insurance companies do the cash collection.

ideally it should be part of the fuel duty, one less tax for the revenue to collect
