There’s no word yet on whether this extension will continue to roll forward in future years, though.
One other significant change for motorists is that SORN declarations will no longer have to be renewed each year. From now on, all SORN applications will be open-ended, and as such will apply until the car’s tax is renewed.
What’s more the grace period for failing to display a tax disc once purchased has been extended to 14 days.

Rolling 40 year VED exemption can't be bad and TBH not having to repeat SORNS will save me a lot of potential fines!

Yes that might be the case, but at least Italy and I think many other European countries are fair when it comes to cars over 25 years. They have a set fee for road Tax £50, no matter which engine size.
I don't expect free tax, but with the miles I do in my cars and most classic cars enthusiasts, a lower road tax would be a more fair deal. Anyway we all know we are a lot more greener in keeping these old snotters on the road rather than buying a new car.
