Alfa failed its mot
-
how on earth are they expecting people to buy that? I mean come on now, thats just ridiculous! I guess it aint mazdas fault, more the government, but thats just stupidly priced, I thought the £200 my car costs was pricey lol
-
£200 is cheap jesta. The new range rover V8 petrol… be ready for this....
£900 for the first years tax! Then it goes down to the more managable £445. so, olets say you have just bought one, you then have to get to the post office and fork out another £900 just to drive it anywhere. that is sick!
-
If you can afford to buy a brand new V8 range rover, you can afford to pay £900 to tax it!!
-
well yeah, but even so, thats far too much either way, i know that its in good cause, it forces people to consider cars that are more environment friendly, but there has to be a limit of normality, whats with the first year thing anyway, surely that makes no sense?
-
Normally when you buy a new car its 'on the road price' so the dealer will pay the road tax, probably double so the government can make as much money as possible, any excuse
-
pay enough in fuel tax, youd think theyd just get rid of road tax with the amount of money they rake in from petrol
-
They cannot get rid of road tax, it pays for the dvla and its the only way to keep check on who owns what annually, you get rid of tax you get rid of people registering it in their name

**Not true since the 1960s. Road tax was originally ring-fenced for motoring purposes, but taxation was homogenised - all tax goes into the Treasury and all things funded by tax are paid out by the Treasury.
Council tax is the exception, but this is charged by local councils and not by the Treasury.**

Another fascinating fact about council tax is that over 40% of what you pay each month goes to paying pensions for public sector workers :evil: :evil:

What can be done though? make it all pvt? what about the poor 11k a year man? i am classed as a publc sector worker and the pension rules have changed so it not such a great deal for younger people it was capped off a few months ago. Its funny to me that 40% of my tax goes back into my wages.
yeh and something about an alfa erm they are unreliable lol
-
