The change is the latest move by the DVLA
Motorists are being made aware of a new change made by the DVLA to ensure car tax is paid on time - and are being urged to sign up to a new system online. The licensing authority has introduced a new system that will issue car tax reminders through email or text instead of receiving a paper copy.
to bring its services online. Announcing the change on Twitter, the DVLA said: "Today we’ve launched our driver and vehicles account where you can opt for digital vehicle tax reminders and access your driving licence and vehicle details all in one place."Other features that will be added to the driver and vehicles account in the future are provisional licence applications and a ten-year licence renewal.
The RAC claims the DVLA runs monthly computer checks of all vehicles registered in the UK. The new tool could help target the over 700,000 drivers who are thought to be evading car tax in the UK. However, motorists who have chosen to tax their vehicle by Direct Debit do not need to sign up to receive a digital V11 reminder letter. Instead these direct debits will renew automatically as long as their model has a valid MOT in place.
