Can I display a 31/10/2011 tax disc now?
I've bought a new tax disc online and the one I have on display expires 31/10/2010 when we are out of the UK. Can I display the 2012 one now? I thought there would be something inside the letter with it but there isn't. Just the tax disc. The purchase stamped date of 12/10/10 is on it in the middle.
