For me owning a 2008 XS I am paying what tantamounts to a tax that was abolished 170 years ago but was reintroduced in the automotive world!

The window tax was a significant social, cultural, and architectural force in the kingdoms of England, Scotland and then Great Britain during the 18th and 19th centuries. Some houses from the period can be seen to have bricked-up window-spaces (ready to be glazed at a later date), as a result of the tax.

Anyone got any mortar and bricks going spare?

I also am a car tax victim

Not only are current owners penalised for possession, but also if they want to sell, since the car tax will put off potential buyers.

Obviously not all buyers of second hand models are aware of the tax pitfall.....  If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!
