That's a bit salty.

 

I understand tax is just the government screwing people.

 

But why is insurance so high? If they charge that sort of amount it's almost worth setting up an insurance company and doing it for less.

Welcome to Ireland. When you buy a new car from anywhere,, or import a 2nd hand car from outside the eu, the government here charge 33% of the value of the vehicle to register it, they call it VEHICLE REGISTRATION TAX, or VRT, ...Then they slap 21% VAT on top of the lot. Only then can you go and tax it,.....for approx 200 euro for a 1.0, 680 for a 2.0, or 1113 for a 3.0. So to get the car on the road, they tax you 3 times.......and off you go to your insurance company, then bend over..... :cry:

The reason insurance is so high is anyones guess. A racket no less..the government dont mind, cos your (HIGH) insurance costs are 21% taxed too...
