Still find it strange driving without a tax disc. I just signed up to Monthly Direct Debit, better for my finances, and it's very easy to do. Anyone else on DD for road tax now

I used to do 6 months because that's all I could reastically afford, it used to annoy me. Used to do it over the counter at the PO, and the amount of hassle I used to get trampling back and forward with Insurance notices and all the other paper work due to the fact my insurance and mot where all due at the same time. Then I started getting my tax disc online which cut the PO right out, and now DD so simple now. Made myself a decent saving on Insurance too, down from £28 a month to £17 with Aviva.

Well the government has added a tenner a year extra for me going DD, still worth it the way my finances are at the moment.

My 2 UK cars are VED free 
one is a large engine, high polluting classic sports car and the other a low polluting luxury S Line Audi...
I'm a keen cyclist too and have 3 bikes currently, love the 'pay some f**king tax' arguments regarding cyclists and love the tax rules in the UK.

There is a 5% surcharge to tax it over 6 months or monthly by direct debit. It used to be 10% before the changes last year. So although not as cheap as paying the full 12 months upfront, it's a slight saving for those who used to pay every 6 months.
I will be from next month. Still can't believe it's taken so long to drag VED into this century. The utterly pointless paper tax discs and the admin at the post office must have cost a fortune to administer.
Now all they need to do is add it to fuel so that those that drive the most pay the most.

I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to set up the DD, about 5 mins and your done.

This is the answer. Buy a low emission car and pay zero VED.

My vehicle Excise Duty is up at the end of the month, and is covered by the money generated by not paying Council Tax for the last 2 months.
One of the very few pieces of sound financial management I actually do.

Yes, since last November. It was so easy to set up and now I will never have to worry about an extra bit of admin every 6 or 12 months again.

Paying by DD although don't see the justification for the extra cost for paying monthly. After all, you don't pay extra for paying PAYE monthly. As for the tax disc holder, just flipped it over so the Seagulls badge shows outwards now
