VED,VAT, tax on everything. Then you have all the cost of administration (DVLA). There are too many bands/tiers of duty containing too many anomalies.
My 1951 25cc Cyclemaster: Tax exempt/MOT exempt
Fazer 600: Tax £31-35 for 6 months
Fazer Thou: Tax about £74 per annum
Fiat Panda 1.1 Tax £30 per annum.
If we are to be taxed for road USE then,yes, put a penny or so on cost of fuel to pay for pollution/wear & tear( or whatever they really spend it on!)
If for vehicle OWNERSHIP I suppose we are stuck with present system, with all its anomalies, together with all the associated admin costs.
At least by putting the cost on fuel it prevents the tax disc dodgers benefitting.
Perhaps show a disc for insurance & one for MOT???-think they do something like this in Eire?
