When the paper tax disc is finally obsolete, presumably it will also remove the possibility of committing any offences relating to it (failure to display, fraudulent conversion of a disc, etc.) - that'll please the lawbreakers.........Under the present arrangements if you take a vehicle off the road and SORN it, or sell a vehicle without passing on the RFL to the new owner, you can surrender the disc to the DVLA for a refund (proportional to its unexpired length) - I wonder what happens with no disc to return? Are tax disc refunds being phased out too ? And what implications does this have for the continuous insurance requirement ?

Further question - why did this appear TWICE, when I posted it only ONCE ?

You will still get a refund, as the information is held electronically you wont have the bother of returning anything, it can all be done from your home computer. Also I am told it will be done on a daily basis so no need to tax from the 1st of a month. Tax it or SORN it whenever it suits. Certainly saves the hastle of displaying it on a motorcycle where it can fall off/get stolen/ drenched in rain etc.

Midge - an actual improvement on the current system, then......sounds good to me. (If it all works as it should, of course). Can't help feeling sorry for those without a PC, or the knowledge/inclination to use one, though...
