As you can see, from April 1st 2017, smart owners will be paying a lot more tax on their new cars. For example:

If you bought a new, non Brabus petrol smart on the 31st of March, over 5 years, you’d pay nothing.
If you bought the same car on the 1st of April, over 5 years, you’d pay £680.

If you bought a new Brabus on the 31st of March, over 5 years, you’d pay £100.
If you bought the same car on the 1st of April, over 5 years, you’d pay £700.
That’s ridiculous!

After the 1st year, the tax is the same on a smart as on a Lamborghini.

So, thanks to the Government being greedy bastards, there is no reason to buy a smart any more.

Physical Tax Disc – UK

The 1st UK tax disc was sent out on the 1st of January 1921 and they were a common sight in windscreens throughout the UK for the next 93 years. However, from the 1st of October 2014, you don’t get one.

You still need to buy road tax (VED) but you don’t need to display a disc on the windscreen.

Previous to this, you were liable for a fine if you didn’t display it, even if you had taxed the car correctly.

Not displaying a tax disc will tidy up the windscreens of cars throughout the mainland. The details will be kept on a central database and ANPR cameras will keep an eye out for your car. If you haven’t taxed it and an ANPR camera catches you driving, you receive an instant £1000 fine.

How Will I Know When It Runs Out?

You will still be sent a letter by the DVLA telling you that your tax is due. You will still be able to do it all online or at a post office. You just won’t get a paper disc.

What Shall I Do With My Tax Disc Holder?

If it’s a cheap stick on piece of shit plastic, bin it. If it’s a nice metal one, use it as a coaster.

However, you could also repurpose it and actually make it more useful than it was before. My idea was to create a “reminder disc” that you can print out and put in your old tax disc holder.

This reminder disc has a space for you to write down when your insurance, road tax and MOT expires. That way it is always right there so you don’t forget and saves you rooting through paperwork.

Click – Reminder Disc

Save this picture (right click – save as), print it out at 100% size on A4 paper, cut one out and fill it in. Save the others for when you need to update the information.
