Well as were going to get royally rogered tommorow, i though it might be interesting to have a go predicting what were going to get stuffed for?



my bet


green taxes on ALL cars. (ive heard 4x4,s and large family cars are to be targetted)

watch the cut off be 1599cc and below

diesels will be taxed to the hilt

2p on fuel immediatly

5p on ****

10p on booze (pints etc)

50p on alcocrap

stamp duty dropped by a paltry 0.25%

income tax to rise 2p

thresholds for tax to stay the same

what does it matter, we have no control on it {except the vote} all those who voted them in are now seeing the real damage they have and are still doing tot he country, it happened last time and it is happening again, this country used to be a good place to be but it is getting silly now the harder you work and the more you try to do better for yourself and your family the more money they take off you, become a lout and a dolite and you will get everything given to you with no effort needed.

Ho hum in answer to your post tax on the hard working, more money to the not.

Snazy

5p on fuel, Band E F and G to rise to daft sums, G rising to £650 per annum.
Income tax staying as it is (sweetner so they can say people are better off)
Booze I dont care about.

Average person to be worse off by £25 a week, but in the cloud of bullsheeeeeet they will blow up, people will be better off by £40

Anyone who works hard will be worse off.

Anyone who's single will be far worse off.

Anyone who's single and hasn't randomly spawned dozens of offspring, will be even more worse off.

Anyone who sits on their backside all day doing FA; it won't matter to them because its not their money anyhow.

Was speaking to some ozzies and kiwis today, they are ex pats and queue for hours here in the pissy weather to vote for back home.. not like the brits eh!

Well, I just paniced, rushed and got my Car Tax reminder, £205 seems quite reasonable compared to what might be required tomorrow, so lets see how much difference it makes.

Global Warming, Gaz Guzzlers, what a load of bollocks whilsts theres 747's blasting overhead every ten minutes, convenient taxation vehicle to pay for the feckless amongst us, serves us right for voting the d1cks in, at least you knew tories were self interested shifty bast4rds, but at least they rewarded a bit of hard work and enterprise, as opposed to sloth, being crap and waiting for a handout.

zip106

Don't forget that if (okay, WHEN) car tax goes up tomorrow, you'll have to pay the increase even if you've already had your reminder but not got the actual disc.

Will almost be dissapointed if it doesnt go up !

Trouble is, I saved up hard for my car (as most do), nine grand yet the government seem hell bent on making it almost impossible to sell on again seeing as it is in band F, it being a Saab doesnt help either. I am lucky in that I can make a phone call, fill out a form and have a brand new Focus diesel or something delivered courtesy of the company but I prefer to use my car allowance as salary to pay all the bills that come in, I only do about 4000 miles a year.

Why dont the government just take all our income off us and save pretending that we get to keep any of it.

PeteBrant

Apparantly the 2p raise on fuel is being suspended for 6 months

lozgti

Whatever happens (and it really annoys me on the choice of car front) in the future the family car will be a cheap small runabout.

And if the whole country is being forced to think like this,how is it going to affect all the big car companies,their sales and the amount of tax that the government gets from them and that market.

Surely this continued blasting of cars and increased tax is going to come back and smack them across the face.

My prediction....Mr Darling won't last long

PeteBrant

"Big" cars have been dead for years. It represents a tiny share of the market.

lozgti

True.

You don't see many Freelanders,Discoverys,RAV4's,X trails,BMW's with 1.6 engines,Mercedes cars with 1.6 engines,AudiA4 Estates with 1.6 engines,Range Rovers,Lexuses,Citroen Picassos,C4's,Saabs,Volvo V70's,XC90's,RR sports (very very rare) etc etc etc etc etc

I certainly don't see a road network heaving with Toyota Aygos.Our next car (when the kids are bigger will be something like a Fiat 500)

My MX will stay in the garage though even if they do tax us to oblivion.I'm even thinking about buying a classic car

Shark Man

Sounds rather communist to me: Just think, the UK will make a "people's car" Just like the Trabants and Vazs of yesteryear.


Probably commissioning Tata to build it for them.

The Zohan

Really, i bet 1 in evey 20 cars i see each day is a (new/newish) large 4x4, walk to school to drop our eldest or pick her up and it really is a BIG 4x4 car park.

Look out of my window out of 20 houses i see three 4x4's, one freelander, a Range Rover and a Forrester STI.


Hardly dead mate.

EddScott

Heard that this morning.

£2k on new "gas guzzlers"

£1K road tax in first year for either any car or "gas guzzlers"

We all know about the income tax changes for april. Less complicated CGT.

Is LPG fuel being hiked up to petrol prices or is it they don't get the discount for being in London?

This is why my MY99 65K 4.0 Jeep cost £1,500 - and thats the top of the price range!

PeteBrant

1 in 20 =5% of the market. In comparative terms, thats pretty bloody small.

But I see your point, they still have a market, maybe I was being a bit overzealous with my "they are dead" statement.

I am quite happy for them to get taxed to the hilt though - If for no other reason that the second hand market dies and you can pick up £50,000 worth of motor for £7,000 when its still relatively new.

stilover

Bet this is put on car with over 2.0 litres. So every day family car will be hit. The Government couldn't care less about saving the planet. They're just using "Green" issues to raise money.

Do they expect somebody who can afford a Ferrari to give a sh*t about paying an extra £2000 showroom Tax or £500-£1000 car tax each year? No. They know it won't make a difference.

All these "Green" policies/Taxes are going to hit over taxed hard working families. And none of the money collected will be used to invest into research for renewable energy resourse, or to research alternative energy sourses. No, all the extra money is going straight to the Governments coffers to be wasted on paying for the every increasing immigration population.

PeteBrant

Thing is, it's not the Ferrari drivers you care about - In terms of reducing CO2 you need to dissuade the everyday person from having something thirsty, rather than the rich.

Leslie

Don't forget that the initial allowance at 10% has now been done away with so that we now pay 20% on that allowance instead. Just a way of screwing money out of those who are poorest as far as salary is concerned!
