Car Tax Disc to be axed after 93 years!

[Lee S]

I was under the impression that very little of the vehicle excise duty went on the roads. It just goes into the coffers and gets used for multiple other things aside from the upkeep of the roads. Road tax was abolished in the 1920s or 30s and VED is now just a tax on owning a vehicle rather than a tax for using the roads. That's how I saw it anyway.

And is why that matey had reason to hold back payment, on the grounds we are engaged in an illegal war so by willingly paying tax you were contributing toward the funding of said war.
I'm sure it's been talked about before here just can't remember the name of his website....... Projectfreeman

Nice, but no time to read everything...

Can I remove the damn disc from my windscreen now?
If not, starting from what date can I remove the disc from windscreen?

Thanks.
