Following many years of discussions regarding the current tax disc law, the government have decided that from the 1^st October 2014 you will no longer need to display the tax disc in the window but do still need to have a valid one to drive on the road or keep the vehicle on a public road even if just parked up.

You will still need to SORN a vehicle if you are keeping it off road and can apply for the disc or carry out a SORN declaration online.

If you are the owner of a classic car or a car which is exempt from road tax then you will also need to go online to complete the renewal of the tax, you will not have to pay anything but you will need to re-register the car every twelve months.

This will mean that people can tax their car and drive it immediately without having to worry about the penalty that they could incur for not displaying a valid road fund licence.
