Oh, wait. I get my tax free any way the missus is disabled.
A most excellent idea, seeing as my truck runs on vegetable oil.Mike Muz 67":1vaapcek said:

Re:
They recently scrapped the city centre traffic wardens in Inverness, leaving the Police to have to deal with parking issues. Hardly a worthy use of highly paid officers' hours. Shove the tax onto the insurance and be done with it. Use the already in place CCTV to manage parking problems. Job done.
I have utmost respect for the Police, and tip my hat to the PCSOs. They do an incredibly difficult job so they do, and they do it terribly well, they do so they do.

And when the Botswanans run their cars on black diesel or veg then they pay nothing. The problem with taxing the fuel is that an increasing number of people aren't using that fuel. Electric power is slowly rising on the one hand, and the strange shadow world of vegetable oil users is expanding rapidly once again. All legal, all avoid buying forecourt fuel.

No to mention all the off road users. Petrol mowers, strimmers, chainsaws, Argocats, trail bikes, tractors, 4x4s.
Why should a private individual using equipment off the road pay?
Besides, the system is all screwed up with 'zero emission' vehicles merely being displaced emissions.
How about all the outlying areas where using fuel is more of a necessity?
The good thing about tying it to insurance is that it will be paid by road going vehicles.

Dammit man. I'm agreeing with you again!
Re: Re:
There aren't any hypothecated taxes in England, it's certainly not to "address" any cause, it's like all forms of indirect taxation - pitched at a level that people will just about tolerate, and often with some hand-wavery of excuse, waiting in the wings in the event that anybody with half a degree of concern should question the notion.
Like that's really a factor in it being some criteria...JamesM":1ub9d44t said:

Re:
Thinks that's the case here, a lot of folk will sell a car with a lot more than half a months tax on it and not bother to reclaim it.
In theory surely this would be linked between v5 deets and online ved, so straightforward, again in theory, to link the databases.
