| Government Petition Against Retrospective VED (road tax) |
|
As posted in the other topic "Darling Budget", I have created a petition on the Govt Web Site.
It says:-
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Remove the
unfair and unjust retrospective Vehicle Execise Duty levy (back
to 2001 year vehicles) as announced in the Budget on 12/3/08
Announced in the budget on 12/3/08 were increases in Vehicle
Excise Duty (road tax). These announcements made scant
reference to the fact that they were RETROSPECTIVE and affect
all cars dating back to 2001.
Owning an older car and keeping it running is FAR more
environmentally friendly than scrapping it and manufacturing a
new one, no matter how much more efficient then new car is. The
manufacturing process creates huge amounts of CO2.
Owners of older cars do not have choice - potential purchasers
of new cars do.
This will seriously damage the second hand car market and the
leisure industry.
Cancel the retrospective taxation NOW.
