I've heard that it's being abolished and an additional vehicle duty is being put on diesel an petrol. Makes sense as it saves the cost of printing the disks and keeping track of sorn etc.
If only! smile

I've done both of mine just in case. It's not going to go down, you can be sure of that! £240 odd for the 182 and £143 for the 650, only 6 months as its replacement is on order.

Can you tax on line 10 days before its due? I usually support my local post office and get my tax there.

Thanks for the reminder - was going to leave it until the end of the month but looking through my old tax discs, it's gone £215 - £245 - £260 - will prob jump up to around £280 tomorrow most likely!
