Yes - you are right - I didn't realise that the tax-disc thing had changed
again.
I remember the initial change to car tax (ie having different levels) was
quite radical at the time. I have to admit I thought it was still on engine
size. Sorry if I sounded misleading - and I'm happy to be corrected.
The other areas I mention are still cc based though - One reason I know this
is because of a recent car purchase (ie transfer of log-book).
Ditto with driving license

UK vehicle tax used to be based on engine volume. But not now. It has been
based on emissions since 2001. See the UK government website:
