Cost of Car Tax

[Chrislong]

Hi all,
With the continueing rinsing of our wallet by the government, and rising cost of car tax & fuel duty, plus the added duty due to the rise in oil prices - I think it is time to do something about it..

Anyway, for your car tax look at this website:

Your car tax may not have risen much for March 2008, but pay attention to March 2009 & March 2010 - looks like a restructure of tax bands as mine changes from Band F to Band K and goes up dramatically. Is this the nanny state channeling us into driving slow eco-friendly smaller than we need cars?

Petition to replace tax with a tax paid on fuel - more of a pay per mile tax:

Im really angry at how much we are all taxed in various ways, this is just one of many of them. taxed on wages, taxed on spending it, taxed on travelling, taxed(fined) for stepping out of line, taxed for being middle/working class and not being able to afford expensive accountants who can bend the rules.
