The tax disc, which was first introduced in 1921, will cease to exist in paper form from October 1, with a new electronic system being put in its place. Under new rules announced in the Autumn Statement last year, motorists will now have to register their car online to pay Vehicle Excise Duty, otherwise known as road tax. This can be done via Direct Debit on the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) website or at a Post Office branch.
