Just because it seems like a good idea and would ease your burden doesn't make it any less daft to think that the chancellor is going to give up a publicly accepted even if grudgingly existing tax.Deanxm wrote:Its not daft at all, fuel has gone up 50p/litre in the last couple of years and i have not noticed any riots.
The good thing about putting the tax on fuel is that you dont pay it if you dont use your car, i dont have a great deal of money at the moment so i have not been using my car, at all, just pedal power but im still paying road tax, in fact since cxm i think ive used about £40 of fuel. I believe more revenue could be generated but if times are hard for you it gives greater control over your spending.
I agree about the insurance disc though, a tax disc, especialy when it is all checked electronicaly now, is just stupid in the extreem, an insurance disc is a much better idea.

It's not all about you you know such a change would probably be a benefit to me too now I;m retired but think about the guy who has to commute 70 or 100 miles a day to work and back or the small company whose rep does 50k miles a year to keep them in business.
