The true genius of this tax is that it affects the vast majority of drivers in the uk. Drivers who already pay tax on almost every aspect of car ownership. Road Fund Licensing is a ridiculous way of collecting tax anyway,it would be so much easier and eliminate avoidance if they increased fuel tax. Ah but you couldnt dress that up as a "Green" tax could you.

This could be their "Poll Tax" because stupidly they have brought it in before the next election,OOPS!!

There is also so much more in the tax system that is ridiculously inequitable,take banding for instance,40% of Ł100k is a damn sight more than 40% of Ł25k so why should you pay proportionally more the higher your earnings?
