For those who do not know in October this year the Government is about to Rip Vehicle owners off at the point of Vehicle sale!..In one swift movement when you decide to sell your vehicle the Road Tax will no longer be Transferable with the Vehicle!..In other words you will not be able to sell your vehicle as "For Sale such and such a Vehicle with 12 months Mot and say 6 months tax"...As You the New owner will have to Re tax straight away!...Whatever is left from the previous owner now becomes the property of VED!...Bleeding Conned again by HM Gov

Their quids in if you sell a vehicle half way through a month, you will lose last 2 week and the new owner will have to pay for 2 week they haven't owned the vehicle for
I'll be watching this to see how long it takes them to give refunds, any silly amount of time and I'll be paying monthly, any money is better in my bank than theirs!

Update on this From 1 October 2014, the paper tax disc will no longer need to be displayed on a vehicle windscreen. If you have a tax disc with any months left to run after this date, then it can be removed from the vehicle windscreen and destroyed. Customers with a Northern Ireland address will still need to display their MoT disc.
There is a video available (Goodbye to the tax disc) which explains that the tax disc will no longer be issued from 1 October 2014.
You can apply online to tax or SORN your vehicle using your 16 digit reference number from your vehicle tax renewal reminder (V11) or 11 digit reference number from your log book (V5C) What this means to you To drive or keep a vehicle on the road you will still need to get vehicle tax and DVLA will still send you a renewal reminder when your vehicle tax is due to expire. This applies to all types of vehicles including those that are exempt from payment of vehicle tax.
Buying a vehicle From 1 October, when you buy a vehicle, the vehicle tax will no longer be transferred with the vehicle. You will need to get new vehicle tax before you can use the vehicle.
You can tax the vehicle using the New Keeper Supplement (V5C/2) part of the vehicle registration certificate (V5C) online or by using our automated phone service - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Alternatively, you may wish to visit a Post Office® branch.
Selling a vehicle If you sell a vehicle after 1 October and you have notified DVLA, you will automatically get a refund for any full calendar months left on the vehicle tax.
Vehicle tax refunds You will no longer need to make a separate application for a refund of vehicle tax. DVLA will automatically issue a refund when a notification is received from the person named on DVLA vehicle register that the:
vehicle has been sold or transferred vehicle has been scrapped at an Automated Treatment Facility vehicle has been exported vehicle has been removed from the road and the person on the vehicle register has made a Statutory Off Road Notification (SORN) person on the vehicle register has changed the tax class on the vehicle to an exempt duty tax class Paying vehicle tax by Direct Debit From 1 October 2014 (5 October if setting up at a Post Office®), Direct Debit will be offered as an additional way to pay for vehicle tax. This will be available for customers who need to tax their vehicle from 1 November 2014:
annually 6 monthly monthly (12 months tax paid for on a monthly basis) Provided an MOT remains valid, the payments will continue automatically until you tell DVLA to stop taking them or you cancel the Direct Debit with your bank. Valid insurance should also be in place for vehicles registered in Northern Ireland.
The Direct Debit will be cancelled and payments automatically stopped when you tell DVLA that you no longer have the vehicle, or the vehicle has been taken off the road and a Statutory Off Road Notification (SORN) has been made.
When the Direct Debit scheme can’t be used Paying by Direct Debit will not be available to:
first registration vehicles fleet schemes HGVs (paying the Road User Levy) Checking the tax status of a vehicle You can check the tax status of any vehicle online. This can also be used for rental vehicles.

Taxed my car a couple of week back, got the "disc" through the post which I have to display for a month! When I opened the envelope I found a printed letter with the disc image printed but no perforations to pull apart, said they have run out of the perforated letters so please just cut round the disc image and place it in your windscreen as usual, I'm not allowed scissors unless they have rounded ends I just threw the letter on the dash, looks like i've printed my own out
