Not quite on topic but something ive never understood is why people complain about how much their car costs to tax
£200/365 a day isnt a large amount if money, I waste more on coffee.
Now if you had a fleet of supercars or a collection of older cars in the top tax brackets and didn't do many miles I could sort of understand.
Think in total i did less than 3k miles last year shared between 4 cars. So 4 sets of road tax for 3000 miles. My MOT man laffs at me.
It's a really good point. It's 54p a day. I think it's because you don't really get anything tangible for your £200.
My view has always been that road/vehicle tax should be purely based on the list price. The people drive more expensive cars pay more money. Pretty simple and same as how tax works for earnings. It could be £100 per £10k list.
The whole co2 stuff has left the gov way out of pocket in recent years when everyone was driving these 1.6TDI's with £0 road tax. 1000's and 1000's of A3, 1 Series, Golfs all paying no vehicle tax 4 or 5 years ago. And lots were £30. Complete balls up.
