    Mine came straight off on the 1st October. I hate any clutter on a windscreen. I got a good laugh out of a nosy neighbour who accused me of driving untaxed ... he looked like he wanted the ground to swallow him up when I told him about the changes. :D
    Nosy neighbours and local busybodies all over the country are wailing and gnashing their teeth at the change. :D

    Mine were both renewed on 1/9/14.


    I took them both off early in October.

    Don't you get a letter through the post a few weeks before?


    I have had our present car for three years, and we have never had a reminder for it, I have alway used the tax disc as a reminder and renewed it online.
    The car belongs to me, and is insured by me and MOT'd by me, but no reminder.
    I wonder how many innocent people are going to be caught out for forgetting to renew their tax as they do not have tax discs or reminders sent through?
    I will keep the online proof of tax where the old tax disc used to be.

    keeping mine safe after I remove it and all the others in the holder, may be worth a few bob on Ebay......

    How about a website where you put in your tax details and expiry date and print that off?

    I could but a website where you enter a few details and it produces a fancy tax disk would be easier.
