The DVLA aims to make vehicle excise duty easy to pay but hard to avoid, regularly reviewing and refining processes to encourage compliance and deliver a robust enforcement regime.</p><p> </p><p>In the third quarter of 2014 before the tax disc was abolished, there were 36,922,049 licensed vehicles. In the third quarter of 2016 there were 38,440,125 licensed vehicles.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 24/02/2017 11:43:31 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
