recent treasury news

Thousands of families are facing a big increase in their car tax bills after a shock move by the Treasury.
Big earner for Treasury.It was thought vehicles up to seven years old would be exempt from the shake-up, designed to penalise high emissions.
But now it has emerged their owners will have to pay the new road duties after all.
A Treasury spokeswoman denied the move had been slipped through "on the quiet".
But she did admit it had not been "explicitly spelt out" in last month's Budget.
News of the levy is likely to provoke fury among motorists who have already been hit by soaring fuel costs.
There will be 13 bands in the new road tax system based on a vehicle's carbon emissions. New cars will also be subject to a so-called "showroom rate".
The changes, which will be staggered from next April, will raise an estimated £1.2bn in extra revenue by March 2011.
Critics say owners of vehicles that emit more than 225g of carbon dioxide per kilometre will eventually £430 in duty, compared to £210 this year.
These will include some Renault Espace and Vauxhall Zafira models.
Medium-sized cars that emit more than 180g/km - including some Ford Mondeo models - could see increases of up to £100, it is claimed.
Paul Watters, head of roads policy at the AA, said: "The Government is penalising hard-pressed families who have been running the same car for many years."
A Treasury spokeswoman said nearly half of new car buyers and a third of existing owners would be better off next year.

mm not good I just read that in the news as well
I think they shud start clamping down on all the big cars for politicians their running costs come out of our pocket as well.
Maybe they shud be driving around in a 900cc rover metro or something to set an example..before they go even more mad...

Time to look for a place to live outside de EU me thinks..

£220 road tax for 6 MONTHS !!!!

Hi All ,
Just swoped my 2nd gen 3 ltr for a Freshly imported and very smart 3rd gen surf ssrx. It was reg in japan in 1998 so DVLA have given it an "R" plate, so far so good. They have now told me that as it has been reg in uk in 2008 and has High Emmisions it is in the "High road tax bracket". £400 per year, £220 per 6 months. I told them that as it was previously reg abroad prior to 2001 surly this was wrong, and if not can i have a " 08" plate . As usual no joy . Any one else been hit with this ,if so what can be done . I feel Robbed as i now drive a well smart 1998 Surf with 2008 road tax!! The term Ba****ds spings to mind!
