bloody hell don't scare us like that!! i nearly had a heart attack

Heard on TV today that they were looking at all gas guzlers. I really hope that it is just for + April 06 cars or I'm Screwed with all 4 of mine.

so who is right then ( im scared ) :hurl:

The whole idea is to keep you worried till the last minute then if and when you dont get hit by a massive "gas guzzler" tax you wont care so much about the other ways they have shafted you, all mind games as usual.

if they do do that i'm going out to buy my tvr cerbera 5.0 V8 might as well go out in style :rofl:

 

The barstards :rant:

its a proper joke, we get hammered for tax anyway due to the amount of fuel we use, shouldnt have to pay road tax IMO

taxed once, taxed twice :headvswal , sold. :rant:

Thats what will happen if it does concern alot of higher cc sports cars .

THIS GOVERMENT SEEMS TO BE GETTING AWAY WITH TOO MUCH :nelson:

And just imagine what £400 road tax every year is going to do to the value of an already rock bottom Zed market price.

ive said it before this country sucks :headvswal

 

ive just seen this, got my blood boiling :rant:

 

 

 

 

 

Look How Little Of £100 You Get To Keep

 

Of £100 earned, 10% is paid in National Insurance contributions (nothing but a euphemism for an additional tax on income).

 

And 23% is paid in Income Tax (40% for higher rate taxpayers).

 

Of the remaining £67 of take-home pay let's say that over a week you spend it thus:

 

 

 

 

- £15 for a meal out

- £8 on cinema tickets

- £16 in petrol

- £3 put by for electricity

- £7 on some cigarettes

- £9 on a few drinks down the pub

- £4 paid out in insurance premiums

- £3 put aside for Council Tax

- £2 put by for Road Tax

 

 

 

 

Sound reasonable? Obviously 100% of the last two items are wholly tax.

 

Five per cent of your electric goes to the taxman and 4% of any money you pay to protect yourself with insurance.

 

Of the £23 you spend at the flicks and eating out, 17.5% goes to the government in VAT.

 

While you're enjoying yourself, so is the Treasury; they take £4.03 from you for the evening.

 

Thirty five per cent of a well-deserved drink goes direct to our masters, and a recent AA campaign serves to remind us that a staggering 85% of the money spent on petrol is snatched by the taxman. Eighty five per cent!

 

But even that is not the worst. The state loves a smoker, of course, and from the money spent on cigarettes an astonishing 88.9% enters its coffers. It all brings tears to the eyes.

 

Altogether, a full £32.31 of that week's expenses goes

straight to the taxman.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Exactly what i thought when i heard it. A friend works for the DVLA and according to him if it does come into play then it will affect all gas guzzlers and not only newer ones. But this is only what he had been told, and its not 100%

 

 

But like said already, if it doesnt come into play we will just get taxed more on something else, but consider ourselves lucky that the tax didnt go up to £410....

 

Me thinks its time for me and Mrs Zed to leave for the costa del sol!!

if things keep goin the way they are somethin bads goin 2 happen, major kick offs, people can only be pushed so far, if it doesnt then am "leavin on a jet plane!"

i read in the sun today that 4x4 eg; bmw x5 , range rover and even cars like 2.0 diesels ,peugeot etc and even 1.8 skoda superb was included in the band g tax rip off. i think the moral of the story is, lets buy as many gas guzzlers as we can afford older than april 06 to avoid the high tax sh*te and f*ck em.

surely its about time this country had a good revolution and just got rid of all the politians

That reminds me i must get my log book put right, the muppets at dvla put my engine size down as 29998cc.

 

30 litre zeds cant be cheap to tax!!
