yes your right Saz, it was on the radio tonight that its only cars registered after 2001

Car Tax rules are relatively simple.

 

Because of an ancient ruling a car cannot be re-banded once it has been assigned a tax band. Our cars all fall into the older rules of below or above 1549cc, high or low tax. There is nothing stopping the government changing the value on these tax bands but i doubt they would do anything out landish for fears or mass revolt and no one buying tax.

 

From march 01 we had several bands introduced, this also coincided with all cars having to have a declared emissions output for the tax reasons, some years the government adds bands to the list in order to penalise NEW cars not the older ones, so all the new super tax bands will only ever apply to NEW cars.

 

However there is nothing stopping them increasing the cost of each car tax band, so lets hope they dont go too insane.

 

Systems in this country rely on most people obliging and a few people punished, however if 30m people didnt buy car tax, what could the government do? Impound 30million cars?? Where at? thats my argument so if enough people just didnt bother that would solve the problem!

 

whilst i agree with what you say I ask this: does anyone really think the government give a flying fook what we think or want? They know this country wont revolt because if they did fear that petrol wouldnt be 110 per litre.

If anyone speaks out as an individual they get done for inciting a riot or rascism. They dont care believe me.
