End of paper road Tax disc from 1 October 2014 removed from windscreens V11 renewal form SORN no longer displayed needed
The paper car tax disc becomes obsolete on 1st October 2014 after featuring on car windscreens since 1921. Vehicle owners will no longer have to display the vehicle excise duty (VED) disc on their screens with the system becoming "electronic" in that VED will be renewed either online or at Post Office branches. The Government has said the abolition will eventually save the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) around £7 million a year. But motoring groups the AA and the RAC have both expressed reservations about doing away with the paper disc while an Auto Trader survey showed a lack of awareness of the disc's abolition. One key change is that those buying a vehicle will not be able to take advantage of the remaining months and days of the car's existing VED and will need to renew the tax.
