Re: Secret increase in road tax
So as I mentioned in another thread, what difference is there for £1/200 extra in road tax when its depreciating at £2K/year?

I actualy thought that in the budget it was anounced that road tax would be going up on bigger cars such as 4x4s ect, but I didn't grasp the fact that older cars were to be hit too, which is what the article is getting at, but which ever way you look at it, its just another stealth tax

Re: Secret increase in road tax
It appears that all the motoring organisations are up in arms about this, saying the the details had be hidden in the small print and not fully explained by the Government, well nothing new there then

Just to make you all feel better, the cost of car insurance is set to rise too ... due to the high cost of repairs. (I think also all those cheats claiming for whiplash !) ...
