Clause 18 - Fee for payment of duty by credit card
Finance Bill

Mr Andrew Tyrie (Chichester, Conservative)
I was just coming on to the practical difficulties of getting hold of a tax disc. People have to stand in a queue at the post office with their V11 licence renewal form, an insurance certificate, an MOT certificate and a cheque or postal order. It has often struck me that the best possible thing would be for the tax to be abolished and replaced, with the yield being collected in some other way. There is a number of other suggestions I could make. I am now straying from the subject under discussion, but, for example, revenue could be collected from foreigners—[Interruption]—who use our roads, but do not pay vehicle excise duty.
