Young bobtail Rhys Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Thing is, the government haven't actually informed "us" that the tax has risen to upto the £455, they just said that the car tax will rise, but not informing us exactly how much and have not properly publicised the exact rise. Also they have put the tax back from 2004 higher taxed cars to 2001. Why? We have a 53 plate td5 es disco and that will cost to tax in a few years....£455. However, a Hummer H2 with a 6.2 v8 drinks like a fish and weighs as much as a house, but will cost exactly the same???? They say it is all done by emissions, but they have only put it back to 2001, so you can own a Ferrari F40 with its twin turbo v8, and churning out loads of bad emissions, but will only cost you £200 to tax!!! Is it just me or is this whole idea crazy? Rhys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
