Paper tax discs

[Batfinnk]

So the latest news is that the displayed tax disc is going to be scrapped. The extra 10% for 6 months will be dropped to 5% and the new option of paying monthly by dd. I for one think the tax duty should be abolished all together and a penny a litre on fuel.

Yep add it to fuel pay and go,

Would make sense for me my tax bill is nearly 1,300.00

I agree with adding to the fuel but for the moment I'm liking the idea of a monthly direct debit to pay for the road tax. All helps!

Agreed , pay as you go ... No brainer and they then tax every dodgy fooking pikey

I like the PAYG idea too, seems fairer, and, if you want to drive a beast, you pay for it.

doing some quick sums, i think we'd be looking at c. 10p per litre to break even on current levels...id still see that as a good way to go.

Open Question: What would be your upper limit?

[N13LXC]

sums are based on the following:

270bn miles driven in the UK per year.
Av MPG 35-40 (could be over stating on this one)
£5.36bn collected in 2009 from road tax
£200m in lost revenue

as you can see, these have been done on the back of a fag packet so no picking holes!
