Increase in Motorcycle Tax
Apologies if this has been posted already - would a mod please remove if so.
http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/motorcycleved/ I was signing a petition about fuel duty and saw this. Thought it might be of interest. Last edited by RichT; 11-02-10 at 03:00 PM. |

Re: Increase in Motorcycle Tax
Where is the increase given?
There was another "Stop the increase in M/C tax" floating around recently that was a bit of a let down because there was no proposed increase!!

Re: Increase in Motorcycle Tax
It a standard minimal increase. That is the only change on the interweb I can find anything about.

Re: Increase in Motorcycle Tax
£4 over a year isn't going to break the bank, but it is yet another way the current powers that be are scr*wing us.

Re: Increase in Motorcycle Tax
The BMF's argument is apparently that although the increase isn't significant, it is in percentage terms when compared with other vehicles (IE cars) with a similar CO2 output.
I kind of agree with that argument, but am I too fussed?!? Nah, works out at approx 7p per week over the year.

Re: Increase in Motorcycle Tax
Not going to argue over £4.00 ...... but when a BMW can drive around for free ..... £70 seems a bit steep for a bike ....
