Car tax changes to leave 9 million worse off
Written on July 21, 2008 – 2:17 am | by admin
The drivers of nine million cars, nearly half of all those in Britain, will be worse off under government plans to raise vehicle duty for polluting cars, according to figures from the Treasury.
The news that so many hard-pressed drivers of older and second-hand cars will be hit has raised the spectre of another revolt by Labour MPs after the furore over the abolition of the lowest income tax band.
Sounds like more C02 friendly cars are the order of the day! If this affects you, you should look at cars with smaller diesel engines like the Peugeot 206/207 1.4hdi and the Citroen c3/c4 1.4hdi (and others), with duty rates as low as £35 per year, it will leave you better off!
