How to exchange a tax disc :Cross Stitch – Motoring

You’ll need to exchange your tax disc if you make any changes to your vehicle’s construction or use that will change the tax class or the amount of vehicle tax you pay.

Exchange your tax disc if you change the:

  • tax class – this doesn’t apply for tax classes where no vehicle tax is payable
  • engine size – cylinder capacity
  • type of fuel used
  • weight of a goods vehicle
  • number of seats on a bus
  • the use of a vehicle you have just bought

For changes to the fuel type or engine size, which needs a lower rate of vehicle tax to be paid, you must provide documentary evidence of the change. This can be the receipt for the new engine, written evidence from the manufacturer, insurance company or garage that carried out the change.
