Title: So, what will I put in my Tax Disc holder from October 2014 ? Post by: sparehead3 on 16 December, 2013, 12:02:34 PM Hi
Was just reading up on the removal of the paper tax disc next October and , whilst I can fully see why they'd do it because it's all electronic and can be checked up easily , how I am going to read the tax discs on show cars to find out what they really are ??? (usually a very modified Ford that doesn't pay tax!) I guess it means if there's an abandoned car on my road or if I'm buying a second hand car the only way I can check is to look online ? * But I'm still wondering what to do with my tax disc holder (cut my LMC sticker to fit?) or is it Ok to leave the last tax disc there ? * I can check up on the integrale - but only because I know how it's been spelt :) Title: Re: So, what will I put in my Tax Disc holder from October 2014 ?

Question : will it be legal to put anything in the tax disc holder ? It isn't a legal requirement so I guess you could put anything in there ????

Mind you over here you have to display your MOT disc too, maybe that will be done away with also P Title: Re: So, what will I put in my Tax Disc holder from October 2014 ?

I've still got "Fays" first and last tax disc when she was on the road before she came into my ownership. Respectively 1966 & 1976. I used to like the tax disc holder behind the interior mirror on my 2 Series 3 Themas, it had two sections, so I used to put the tax disc one side and my LMC sticker in the other half. I know it wasn't strictly legal to have the tax disc there, but no one ever queried it. Brian 8227 8) Title: Re: So, what will I put in my Tax Disc holder from October 2014 ?
