Car Tax - What lengths will Britain go to?

[bpm]

By now everyone knows that the world economy is up a certain creek without a certain paddle!

The most striking effect seems to have been on the auto industry.

America - Left the auto industry out to dry with an expected loss of 3 million jobs.

Romania - Tripling car tax for all second hand vehicles to boost new car sales. (See article) http://www.reuters.com/article/rbssConsumerGoodsAndRetailNews/idUSL475080020081204

So as we are as badly off as the rest if not closer to meltdown. What effects do you think it will have on the impending car tax changes next year and other car costs?

I heard the road tax increase on certain cars made between 2001 and 2006 is being pursponed (sp)

i was expecting to have to pay £300 to tax my car next year. seems like its £215 next year and maybe £245 the year after. on a par with a vts :P

the increase has been persponed, but it will still go up ridiculously given time.

Registered 31st Jan 01, so I miss the increase by a month and a day, cheaper to tax than my VTS was. Just how I like it.

Not if you have a VTS pre 2001, where it stays in the old bracket of £185 !
