Were these tax changes on petrol cars announced in the budget?

And although my eyes were open
They just might as well be closed

"So? What’s your actual point? It was pretty obvious he meant at point of use 🤷🏻‍♂️"

Yes, but that`s not free.........which is my point, equally obvious I thought.

"Absolutely free."

So, where does the Luxembourg government get the money to run these "free" services ?

That`s my point - nothing is free in this world.


From the charges paid by ‘brass plate’ companies registered here for tax reasons?

🤣🤣🤣

Not sure if they were specifically called out when presented but they`re in there. For your average motorist worth a used car it won`t be noticeable but for someone buying a new fossil fuel vehicle it will be. I`ve never understood why the Tories changed the banding in 2017. It meant someone worth a used car with a relatively low emission vehicle would pay £20 if bought in March but £190 if bought a month later. Absolute nonsense. Same car, same engine, same emissions.

The problem will be what happens when more and more people move to electric vehicles and there`s a loss of tax from fossil fuels and VED. I`m sure a new tax will have been invented by then though.

We`ve gone from starting this year with a diesel at £20pa to an electric which will be either £180 or £190 from April.

So obvious in fact that it doesn’t even need made - unless you’ve only just discovered we live in a governed society.

Always bemused by suggestions that some services are free, obviously.
