4X4 Tax ?
defenderdan:
Although it would hit me hard as my family own a sameday courier company, i have to agree with ost. The only fair way is to add it to fuel.
Pay as you pollute if you like. Why should you pay the same amount to tax a vehicle that only does 500 miles a year as a vehicle that does 60000miles a year :?

--- Quote from: "windowlicker" ---ost i hear what your saying but i and many others earn a relatively low income which leave's very little spare cash and in some cases leaves you short :(
but to add to this my work involves me traveling an average of 50 to 60 miles a day and i struggle to find the money to pay for the fuel as it is and i could only imagine that if more tax was added on fuel then i would have no option but to give my job up and i would think that this would be the same for mant others.

point taken :oops:
but to have £2000 added each year just on road tax isn't good especially if you have 2 or more cars :shock: :shock:
at least with my idea you would only pay for mileage done instead of paying whilst 2 cars sit on the drive doing nothing :cry:

they said this last time, its just scarmongering.
i ain't giving up my paj!

Yup I agree too. Why should those that use the roads little pay for those that use it lots.
If they dropped beer to 50p a pint and then charged us all £150 a year pub tax to visit a pub I'm sure there would be an uproar... then again.... how sloshed could I get before I broke even :lol:
Ost:
done a little working out my end and.............
if you add for instance 10p on a litre of fuel for road tax.........
my yearly road tax would be £168 using 1680 litres each year
and
and £336 for those using 3360 litres each year
and £504 for those using 5040 litres each year
and £672 for those using 6720 litres each year
and £840 for those using 8400 litres each year
now we have all seen petrol/deisel rise to nearly £1 this year and it has dropped down at least 10p so would this really affect our pocket ?
