Its like a few things these days.Electronic,paperless etc.Nothing material at all,a bit like music.
Notes and coins will be the next to disappear. Car club newsletters are or have gone that way to.Not neccesarily for the better,but its all a money saving issue. I wonder how the world survived all these years???? |

I think V.E.D. should be scrapped altogether and replaced with an increase on fuel duty.
No more nonsense about paying according to CO2 emissions, exemptions for classics, weekend drivers paying the same as daily drivers etc, just the more fuel you burn, the more you pay. Don't all shoot me at once....... |

I think the present system is shyte myself,what with losing money if you tax a car half way through the month and also if you cash a 6 month tax disc in having to pay £20 for the pleasure
If they do this new system right you would be able to pay for the remaining days in the month not for the previous time you havn't even had the car on the road. In new zealand you can(or at least when i was there 6 or 7 years ago) tax a car for between 1 and 365 days,and from memory it was dirt cheap aswell. But yes as mentioned above it would be best if road tax was binned altogether and just absorbed into cost of fuel. |

Since the treasury takes about 45 BILLION quid a year from VED ... that's some increase on fuel IF VED was binned altogether and the driver is taxed on how much fuel he/ she needs to purchase throughout the year !!!!!
I suspect a revamp on emissions will soon come along since so many small cars with very little tax is now running around our roads and as cars become even more fugal at the pumps, the treasury must be loosing a wedge per year just from the sale of little engined city cars !
