1991 starlet owner Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I think that sounds stupid, 1. Buying a car will be harder as you won't be able to see if it's taxed officially.2. Paying by direct debit gives the banks even more control.3. How do you convince officers of the law your vehicle is taxed if the system crashes which it will.4. This will result in even more information to be electronically lost by the idiots in charge.5. More CCTV cameras means even more control, harassment and surveillance on the general population. Only my opinions though lads! Tom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

turbo Grant Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 If they keep a record going back a few years so you can see if the cars been off the road for any period would be good. You can always check tax online by punching the reg in, so only lazy people will moan about not being able to see the tax disc when viewing a car. It might affect some old people who don't do computers. It's not all bad really, change is good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletSr? Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 So im going to pay about £6 pounds a month to tax my car im not sure if I like this idea Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletSr? Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Also if I can get a bank account due to debt problems does that mean I cannot drive ever again? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 its about fucking time they introduced a smarter way of paying car tax. nothings as big a pain in the hole over here than driving round on a saturday morning trying to find a post office that does it. also saves paying it in one lump sum, particularly if its due at an awkward time of the year as mine used to be. I'd rather pay a few quid each month for the alfa in one £225 lump sum which, now that I'm a home owner, can be a real fucking prick to find in one go. suits me powerful-fecking-well. Phil.

1991 starlet owner Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 You could save a little each week anyways?? And you can ready pay online in England. Mot is electronic as far as I'm concerned that's good enough so stop there. People have enough to worry about financially without another stupid direct debit coming our every single month.

Chris Green Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 When I was taxing my car from it being SORN, I went to six post offices and none of them could do it. So I had to drive to Belfast (no tax) to get it done in the DVLA office. I couldn't do it either as I only bought the insurance the night before. Paying monthly is also good, although the post office already do it, but again hassle going down once a month to pay £7. We already have tax cameras on the main routes in N.I. so no change there.

Gainzy Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 It's depressing enough having to pay tax for our brilliant roads in the first place never mind having these cunts roping it out once a month, from now I make 1 year payment on line and hakuna matata job done Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1991 starlet owner Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 To be honest I don't agree with paying it in the first place! Absolute joke! If they could tax the air we breath they would!!! We're already taxed on everything by 20% and pay fuel duty and the rest.. Absolute joke this modern world! They take all of our money and theirs still peoe starving in a world of plenty!- just my 2pence (again). Tom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I also agree why have a direct debit each month when you can just as easily save that cash each month (or over save) to pay a lump sum. Or buy only 6 months if it falls around Christmas then buy a years tax in June. I personally hate monthly bills as there's already so many of them so why make more.

fremyjay Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) Doing away with the tax disc only benefits the goverment, yet another thing they don't have to pay for and can use for their crooked selves Edited December 5, 2013 by fremyjay Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) Theoretically as all the details are stored on a database anyway it means more jobs can be cut, less has to be spent on printing, delivering and general administration fees relating to an actual physical disc. More DVLA jobs will be cut through this Id also be willing to vouch that they slightly up the price with it Edited December 5, 2013 by Addymk2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie5414 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I don't mind either way, they are still money robbing idiots on one hand or another. Electronic is easier for me, so I don't see a problem.3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wssoR Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 'The new option of paying by monthly direct debit is also expected to cost 5% more than paying for a full year in one go.' Just a bunch of money grabbing cunts. Cannot wait to move out of this country. Fucking hate the cunts that run it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I need to tax my daily Legacy before new year, 156 quid for 6 months I like the idea of the new system over this one, even though i fuckin grudge paying car tax, the way its based on emissions is a load of shite. You can roll about in a huge diesel 3.6L Porsche Panamera for example and pay absolutely fuck all road tax because its a "hybrid" , only does like 30 MPG fs !! Yet its like 70K so the owners could easily afford to pay tax. Anger and rage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
