"Revenue from vehicle excise duty fell by £93 million in the year after the abolition of the paper tax disc, official figures show.
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency's (DVLA) annual report and accounts show that revenue from vehicle tax fell from £6.023 billion in 2014/15 to £5.930 billion the following year.
Motoring organisation the RAC described the figure as "a significant sum" that merits further investigation, amid fears that vehicle tax evasion has increased.
When the paper disc was ended in October 2014, the Government said it would eventually save the DVLA around £7 million a year.
A Department for Transport survey conducted in June last year revealed that the number of motorists failing to pay vehicle excise duty (VED) had more than doubled since the end of the paper disc."
DVLA lost out on £93million a year after abolition of tax disc amid fears evasion has risen
Six fooking BILLION pounds revenue and they wanted to save £7 mln?!?!?! I demand my paper disk for £530 VED
