It probably won't be called VED any more, but you can bet whatever you like it won't be zero.

The online system is much easier than going to the post office, but it's certainly not perfect. If, for any reason, you don't get that bit of paper, you are pretty well screwed.

2. Renewing your vehicle tax
Your vehicle tax will renew automatically when it’s due to run out.
You’ll get an email or letter telling you when your Direct Debit payments will be taken.
You won’t be sent a vehicle tax reminder letter (V11).
