Vehicle tax changes

[Toms306]

Tom you're missing the fact that the option to roll the tax on monthly will mean that anyone buying a car will just be able to start the ball rolling monthly in the same way people pay for insurance, utility bills etc.

I still stand my ground on the fact the value of a car will not change, I think it's funny that everyone is moaning on here - just like it or lump it - it's got to be paid - end of!

It doesn't matter whether you pay monthly or not, 6 months tax still costs the same (or probably more for monthly if its like insurance?) and has to be paid whereas before it wouldn't because you'd already have say 4 months. And how can you instantly start the ball rolling? I would have no way to tax a car before driving it home like that, as most people won't. So they'll have to give a grace period at least....and if that's the case people will just put off taxing till the start of the new month, so it wont make them more money, it just makes life difficult as with the non-insured/SORN thing.

Also, fair enough it has to be paid, but so does fuel, and are you saying you wouldn't moan if that suddenly jumped top £3 a litre? Doubt you'd just go 'ah well, it has to be paid' anyway...
