Dump duty and revenue to fuel how then do you charge HGV and gas guzzlering Chelsea Tanks a deterent duty, without all drivers being charged at a hevier rate?

Errr they use more fuel just starting the engine let alone driving anywhere. It stands to reason that the more fuel you use the more car tax you would pay. That said my annual car tax is just under £300 my fuel bill is £100 per week my wifes car tax is £20 pa and her fuel bill is £40 pcm not sure how you could put car tax on the fuel without me losing out

Yup my Defender was £70 a tank lasted about 5 minute drive..

"not sure how you could put car tax on the fuel without me losing out"

Err! which is the exact point i was making Peter .

think about HGV tax wife's firm has 15 tippers, each uses high levels of fuel for miles covered, road fund is (she says about) £1250.00 per year.

if you simply put it on fuel i can't see the goverment standing that sort of 'road fund' loss, motorists are a sitting duck cash cow, so i'd guess they would shove up the price per litre while disguising upping the revenue

Only way i can see is to add this surcharge tax onto the vehicle insurrance?

One thing i co like is being able to tax just for a month, we have a boat parked on the drive, a 4x4 would be very handy for towing and launching it. being a good weather past time, when we get bad or wet summer weather i could simply sorn it.

Anybody moaning about road fund licence cost should consider themselves lucky they ain't living in Ireland.

Why. What's the rules over there?
