Who's gone to the trouble of removing their tax discs?

[Kentish]

Nope, both cars are taxed til feb 2015.

I'll waste my time removing them when I have to.

[sanguinary]

Bizarrely enough, mine fell off the window on the 1st of October. It's stuck under the passenger seat.

I've taken my stack out of the BMW: a complete set back to 2005, so not a complete set but I have put them in the car's history folder rather than junk them. Will do the same on the Porsche when I next get it out - that goes back to 1991.

Never.

I've taken mine out but left the tax disc holder in. I have to use a parking permit in the windsceen at work which happens to fit the same dimensions as a tax disc so figured I may as well use the tax disc holder for that instead. Kept the tax disc with the car history though.

Renewed my tax in August so there is a disc in place. In no rush to remove it. Having driven for 20 odd years with a tax disc in the window I don't really notice its there. Its not as if it obstructs your view. It'll probably still be there next August unless it falls off before then.

Had the windscreen replaced last month, knew about the tax disc changes so just stuck it (rather awkwardly) on the top right of the screen for the last few days of the month. Took it off on 1st October.

my tax disc holder is the same one from the original Toyota dealer after all these years, I still have all the tax discs and cant bring myself to get rid of them.

Are these embossed in any way or are they just printed bits of paper?

It looks like a photocopy that your mate did when he was half cut.

it's a fking cheek calling it rare and collectible, they are the opposite of rare. Why the fk would anyone buy one anyway, surely everyone had to have one until the other day so if they wanted it, they just have to keep it. Typical eBay chancer bullst wkery.

[brillomaster]

my tax disc holder decided to fall off today after being faithfully stuck to the windscreen for the last two years. message received and understood, its now in the bin!

this tax disc thing has brought out some weirdness in people. Admittedly I am a bit finnicky about things, so there's no way I'd leave it in, but it sounds weird to me to hear some people say they can't be bothered to remove it. It's like un-peeling a pay and display ticket - how lazy are you exactly?! Also the "i've paid for it, so it's staying put" is just weird - it's not the disc you've paid for anymore, being the whole point. 80% of people don't even know anything about any of it anyway, the post office will have their heads done in explaining it to every fker that walks in the door over the next 12 months.

Because I don't think it's simply a case of removing it. The holders been stuck in place for 7 years now..

When mine renewed 5 months ago it went straight in the glove box and has been there since.

The last few (1000's) issued in the last half off September were just printed on to an A4 sheet off paper and you had to cut out the tax disc, I know this as my dad did it for one off the vans

I believe the DVLA ran out of perforated paper

[TotalControl]

Nope. Not removed mine. Keep telling myself I should but then it gets too late in the day to do. Rinse and repeat daily.

They ended the contract with the supplying company, so I read.

And apparently saved us (tax payers) some money for once
