Car tax?
What year does the car tax increase on a Scooby from a relatively normal amount per 6 months or 12 months to a stupid amount per 6 or 12 months? Just wondering as if I get rid of my classic for a wrx/sti or sti just want to know what year car the tax band changes. Thanks

If you think about it. The new cars you hardly pay tax or any at all and were the one that have to pay for it. So my next car will be a newish one with hardly any tax to pay. My car is stood 5-6 days a week

Thats how they get you tho, its not ROAD tax, its VED emissions based. Which I feel is stupid because if you take 2 members off here, both with cars in the higher tax band, one drives 1000 miles a year as he works off shore and the other drives 10,000 miles a year as its his daily driver, both have to pay emissions based VED yet one driver produces 10x more emissions.
Personally I think vehicle tax should be scraped and a certain percentage put on fuel, that way the more you drive and emissions you create, the more you pay!? I know fuel is already high but having to pay upto £1000 a year extra just because of the car you choose is silly.
Take your average company rep who does 30k miles a year, he might drive a relatively low emission diesel Vectra so only pays £200 a year car tax but I bet he puts out more emissions than most people who have apparently high emission weekend cars.

a Scooby owner should not have to pay similar amount of tax as a distributor of narcotics, in his unfeasibly large 4x4 (donning an awful body kit and horrendous alloys)!

I 100% agree with this. However maybe instead of adding tax to fuel, perhaps having pay as you go toll taxes on the roads, like most of Europe do

Problem with having toll roads instead is that everyone gets the same charge wether the have a 5mpg hummer or 60mpg diesel polo. The only realistic way they can base a tax on your vehicles emissions is to know what is coming out your exhaust and the general consensus is that the lower your emissions the lower your fuel consumption. Hence you are taxing people based on how much damage their vehicle is doing to the enviroment, not how much damage it could do or how many miles they do.

I see your point though
