    Off topic in the forum but might be worth posting.

    If you have the skysports/bt sports package on virgin media you can now pause the payments on their website.

    Anyone answer this?
    My car tax is due 1st April. I will not be using my car certainly in April. It is parked in my alloted parking bay at the apartment complex where i live which is privately owned, we pay service charges to the company to upkeep the grounds etc. Does my car need taxed parked here?

    It still needs to be taxed even if you aren't using it unless you register it as Sorn. If you do this you won't have to pay tax until you unregister it again

    Who’s gonna know? We don’t use discs anymore it’s private parking so I wouldn’t worry.

    The Govt department will unless you SORN it as suggested above. You'd get a fine otherwise.
