in the grand scheme of things, road tax is not too bad when you compare it with all the other taxes and stealth taxes we pay every day. At least we can pay it in 2 instalments!
You can pay in two installments but they'll charge you 10% extra!It should be scrapped and added to fuel costs. But that would be too transparent, totally eliminate those who avoid it, thus saving millions of pounds, clearly making far too much sense. Far better to make it as complex as possible thus allowing for fraud and vast waste. As you were.

Even top rate (£460?) is less than £9 a week. Doesn't make it any cheaper I know, but it's small fry in the overall cost of running a car really...
It's the inequality of it that boils my urine , cars doing thousands of miles per year causing congestion and wear to the roads paying little or no RFT . Were as enthusiasts doing 2 to 3 thousand miles are paying £475 new rates in April.Now if every body pays the £475 and they spend it on the roads I would by a happy bunny
Note: I say spend it on the fkING ROADS

Don't get too excited - the government's review of tax discs announced in the Budget will very likely bring to an end the "cheap" category for personal imports and pre-2001 cars. Who knows, they might even sweep pre-1973 back into paying real cash money!!
Cheap my arse. Just taxed the MGB for 6 months and it was 120 quid. s.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
