What sort of local do you have where the budget is prime viewing?

Just hope the rumours aren't true that the wanker at No11 is sticking up car tax to £400 "to save the planet" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last beer and smoke session before it all goes up again.
So glad i filled the car last night, expect the forecourts will be rammed with folk trying to fill up before the rises and save themselves for 42p per tank full :S

Only on new cars though. Every year I have a heart attack thinking of him whacking tax up on the Vette but then realise it only applies to newbies.

Phew! My 4*4 V8 can be described as many things - but new is not one of them!

I'm watchign it on the BBC website.

I'm expecting to look out of my window and see a huge queue of cars trying to save 21p on a full tank by the end of the day

Good luck and God bless

[tigger1]

Fingers crossed all - hopefully the tax hike on lentil production will be fair.

[Parrot of Doom]

£400 million quid for the army

And a theft of £400 million quid from dormant bank accounts just the other day.

Thief.

Landfill tax up. That means council tax up.

As if we expect anything less.....

[Parrot of Doom]

top band of car tax up by £100, and another £100 next year

[anonymous-user]

What about the other bands?

[Parrot of Doom]

I wasn't listening but I think the lowest band drops to £35.

[anonymous-user]

Is that the band with no available cars in it?

[dougc]

Yep

[TimDarracott]

By top band is that for new cars, or old cars too?
