I'm quite happy with the tax for the ST, around £120 per year which is good when you look at the performance of the car.

Ireland sadly get bent over with car tax I must say?! As for the ST tax... Wow!

Think it's £130 now phil but still pretty reasonable

Yes we so sadly do unfortunately they then think of new ways to tax us :( every year there has been a new one brought out

Sounds like the UK we get bent over with loads of taxes but at least the car tax us a tad cheaper...

lucky you we don't get a break for it anyway the only way a man can get a break is when his girlfriend, fiance or wife has a baby then he is given a tax break for a few weeks, I will find this out in jan has my fiance is expecting :D :D (not sure how long for or even if it still happens)

and great i just remembered ill have to fork out 280euro to tax my car for a year bugger that in october some time when i can spare the cash help me jeebs you can supply me the shotgun :P

If I HD a shotgun I'm not sure I could help you, I probably would be locked up for improving corsa' bodywork...

Generally about 9 months after Mummy and Daddy love each other very much and have special cuddles

:D

Back on topic, I've removed my tax disc holder now! Wonder how many cars out and about tomorrow will actually have them removed? Wouldn't mind betting a lot of people don't realise they're now unnecessary.

So can I go and take out my tax disc now or am i likely to get pulled and in trouble for not having it ??

Depends how much driving you plan on doing and how likely you are to come across a police car who checks if you have one! On the basis there's only 5 hours left of the day I'd say chance it :P. You could always leave the disc loose in the car just in case!

Same here, and I bet most people won't have a clue until the time comes to renew their tax. Then loads of people will be calling and asking where their tax discs are lol.

Too late it's gone now :) nice clean clear windscreen. It's in the glove box but I'll leave it there incase lol

It's a good job they don't have rules of 'only tax issued after this date need not be displayed' wouldn't you just hate to have bought your disc today and you have 5.9 months to go before your free....

It's in the glove box but I'll leave it there incase lol

Same here, I can't imagine it being needed but didn't want to tear it up.

I've even kept my holder at the moment lol. Though it's sat sticky side up on a desk, so no doubt come tomorrow it will be covered in dust and therefore useless. What's more funny is my dad picked up his new car today, and the garage have fitted the holder for him. Can't imagine why they would, it's obvious he won't get the disc before it's unneeded if he even gets one at all!

They normally do that as it's easy advertisement they get their name and number in your car so it's one of the first things you see when you're in a crisis more revenue for them. They will still fit those things in years to come I suspect

Just removed my tax disc too

#CleanScreen :D

I'm going to leave mine in and design my own tax disc just to see how u can confuse people

haha I wonder if the laws around displaying tax discs still apply if you choose to display one :D. You could design a fake one or make up an expiry date and get fined lol.

I'm gonna put my 1995 tax disk (first one) in on my mk3 fiesta - that will confuse people, if the car ever comes out of the garage :p

Well, looks like I will be removing the tax disc and holder from the Focus tomorrow. It'll be strange not seeing it in the corner of the windscreen anymore, but I'm not sure I'll exactly "miss" it.

Then again, I'm not nicknamed "the procrastinator" for nothing, so therefore the disc (which expires on the 31st of January 2015) will probably remain there at least until it expires - regardless of whether or not it is required.

Good idea, make one that expires in 2115 or something lol.

That's mine off. Had a really nice Richbrook holder and it seems a waste. Need to find another purpose lol

I took great pleasure in taking my off this evening!
