New rules when renewing your tax disc.

Motorists should be aware of new rules when renewing their tax disc or when their new car is taxed for the first time.

Since 17 July 2013, when you renew your vehicle tax or when your new car is taxed for the first time, you now have up to 14 days to display the new tax disc on the vehicle. Under the old rules, you had just 5 days to do this.

For renewals, this extended period will only apply when your application to renew your tax disc is made before the previous one expires. If the application is made after the current disc expires, then the vehicle will be treated as untaxed and the 14 day rule will not apply.

And yes, for the pedants like me, they do call it a tax disc.

Cheers.

Of course they call it a tax disk, it's a tax levied for use of the public roads. It's a road tax.

£0 VED is like a footpad making you show him your wallet. You're still getting mugged.
