Car Tax - Silly
« on: 13 January 2009, 23:36:02 »

Saw the car tax renewal ad arround christmas and kept meaning to post about it.

How come the they offer 2 prize draws for Seat cars.  Who pays for the cars in the 1st place.

US?    if so, why cant they just reduce the car tax, then we all benefit.

Quick bit of maths (based on googled figures):

26,000,000 cars on UK roads

2 x SEATs at about £8k ea - £16k

total cost per car driver: 0.006p.

I see what you are saying, but in theory still not thinking its something they should be doing.

Its like the commision paid to the post office for a tax disc is saved when doing it online, but they still charge £2.50 for a card transaction.

AHHH! That's something else entirely - the effing public sector. £2.50 to process a card transaction that is simpler and cheaper to deal with than handling a cheque or cash?  >:(

Maybe so.  But the saving from the post office commision to do it manually should cover that £2.50 and I bet they are still making money.
