Title: Car tax laws for 2017.
Post by: Field Marshal Dr. Opti on 15 July 2015, 21:38:57
Do I have this right?

There will be three new tax bands.

£0.......for electric cars only.

£140.......for everything else.

£140 plus £310 premium car tax for any new cars costing in excess of £40,000. Making a total of £450.

Autocar magazine. Apparently from the horse's mouth or George Osborne in this case.

From memory I've seen somewhere details of the new rules for 'old' cars - I'll see if I can find them.

Quote "Remember, these changes won’t apply to your current car – only to new cars registered from April 2017" I guess that means no change for us

This is without exception the single stupidest piece of tax horse sh1te in years. How absolutely ridiculous.

Just when they finally get rid of the ridiculous stamp duty they come up with this nonsense.  >:( >:(

I don't vote. Not that it would make a jot of difference if I did, given that they had something like a 20k lead on the other sack of idiots in this constituency  ::)

Might as well be a labour policy anyway... premium car over 40k my arse! try over 90k, and then stick it up your chuffer anyway and just cut some working class scrote's benefits instead.  >:(
