Road tax changes: how the new system will work without tax discs
From October 1, drivers can tear up their tax discs as a new road tax system replaces the tried and tested perforated paper circle. Instead, and electronic road tax database will keep track of who was paid - and those who don’t face a fine of £1,000.
Here’s what you need to know about the new road tax system:
What is going to change?
Motorists will no longer receive a paper tax disc to fix to their windscreen,. Instead, they pay their road tax online, via the DVLA website. Drivers without access to the internet will be able to pay at post offices.
What happens if my road tax doesn’t expire for several months?
You don’t have to do anything, although you can take your paper tax disc off your car windscreen if you want to. Your existing road tax will remain valid until its expiry date, at which point you can renew it using the new system.
How will the authorities enforce the new road tax system?
Automatic number plate recognition cameras, which track all cars, will catch those who haven’t paid up. The police can look up registration numbers on the Police National Computer system. Offenders will face fines of up to £1,000.
Does this effect the buying and selling of used cars?
Yes, this is where the changes will be felt most keenly. From October, vehicle tax will no longer be transferred with the vehicle. This means the buyer will not benefit if there are unused months left on the tax disc. They will have to renew the tax straight away.
The seller can claim a refund from DVLA for any full calendar months left on the vehicle’s tax. However, they are also responsible for informing the DVLA of the change of ownership and will face a fine if they do not do so.
How can I check if my vehicle is taxed correctly?
You can look up the tax status of any vehicle by using DVLA’s Vehicle Enquiry System. You will still be sent a renewal reminder when your vehicle tax is due to expire.
How much of a problem is road tax evasion?
It’s relatively small, figures suggest. The latest estimate of vehicle excise duty evasion is just 0.6 per cent, although that amounts to about 200,000 cars.
So why is the system changing?
The DVLA says the reforms are aiming to streamline the service and to save British businesses millions of pounds a year in administrative bills.
Is there any benefit to the average motorist?
Insurance premiums may fall as a result. Julie Daniels, head of motor at comparethemarket.com, tells the Daily Telegraph that the removal of the tax disc, and resultant elimination of tax dodgers from the road, “should have a positive impact on premiums”. ·
知道你没耐心看，（有耐心的看我highlight的）
总结一下3点highlight的：
1 如果你车还有路税，不用担心 不用管它 ， 最大的区别就是一个是电子的，一个是贴在车前面的，不交的罚1000胖。。。
2 对于卖车和买车会有一定的影响，10月1号之后实施新政策, 买车的人自己在从新付一个Road tax的钱。。 （tax 不跟车走了 ）
3 MLGB （李晨）… 不解释！
后记： 仔细阅读这句话！
From October, vehicle tax will no longer be transferred with the vehicle."
This means that the Tax is registered to the individual, much like insurance premiums, except they are not accepting/refunding for half months.
Therefore, if the buyer bought the car on the 15th October they would have to pay tax for the full month of October.
If they only paid from the 1st November, they would effectively be without tax from the 16th to the 30th October.
这个意思就是说 以后tax越来越像汽车保险了, 你用了就交钱 不用了放地下停车场… 没人管你…~

就是说十月一号我把路税可以从车上拿下来了啊。
还有一点就是车卖给车场，路税被前车主拿回来，以后买车时候如何试驾？因为试驾时候是没有路税的？

这样车一转手，DVLA就多收一个月的tax啊

我很不明白为什么要这样弄…
对那些不谙电脑的车主们怎么办…?

既然已经电子化了，收费却还做不到按天收费，还是需要按月收，这种逻辑和天朝抢钱何异？
还不如就像london congestion charge一样，今天用了车就买一天的，没用就不买，这样一了百了
