    Car Tax

    Car tax is rip off Britain at it's best. Just put the price on the fuel. it's so fair, and easy to implement. Sadly the people employed to collect car tax would be out of a job, but I have heard it said it costs as much to collect the revenue as the revenue itself. So a tax purely to keep people employed, being paid for by the easiest target. The driver.

    ?4 billion to collect a tax? Sounds like pub talk to me.
    He who laughs last probably didn't get the joke.

      do you really want to pay 'road tax' on your Sthill saw for robbing banks

      or 'road tax' ploughing up a farmers land looking for something your metal dector has found.

      OR although not great, fuel stsations sell ready mixed 2 stroke at lower price

          My neighbour pays ?30 a year and does around 25000.

          Oh yeah, its fair alright!
