Gone up again, only £3 for me but still... with fuel as it is people are going to simply stop buying new cars.

That was sneaky, as I never heard that it was going up.

So you can now get 6 months tax for 401 - 600cc bikes.

Damn, cars made after 2010 with over 255 g/km are up to £1000 I suppose cars with those figures are like Ferraris and such though, right?

My bike is classed as 398cc so the tax has went up by £2

It is cheaper for me to tax BOTH of my cars, than it is my bike!

I do maybe 500-1000 miles a year on my bike, and 10,000+ in my car.

Great system they have there for taxing by emissions!

And it's cheaper for me to tax both my bikes than the car I barely use.

£205 for 12 months, yesterday.

Wouldn't mind if any of it went on upkeep of the roads.

[Irn-Bru]

To be fair they seem to be on top of things where I live, they're repairing a load of the local roads and are still messing about the A1's surface... doesn't mean I'm happy about paying more though, but it's nice to see my money being put to use at my door step.

I'm glad I have a 20 year old car under 1.6L then

Mind you, it is gay that there is not an <1L option in there, I'd pay less for my Marbella!

It must polute lots with CO2 esspecially as it is right up there on the emitions test of unburned fuel, but I don't care! Just my 45mpg

stinkwheel Well I just had my hands up a pigs fanny. Which makes your concerns pale into insignificance.

[Marmalade]

there is only one solution.

Everybody in the country should buy a low emission car with free or low tax and then we'll all stop wearing out the roads

Fucking government is ridiculous in this country. I'd seriously love to inflict pain on the cunts.

We're all for the motorist, big thing about a fucking PENNY off a litre of already HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGELY overpriced fuel tax....

But we're adding pounds to your CAR/BIKE tax mind.... but we'll not publicise that as openly.

cunts.

Don't forget that most fuel stations didn't even bother to lower the prices straight away Like 1p matters anyway, it'll be up by 2 by next week.
