25 Year Tax Exempt Rule

[pnwrs2000]

There is an open petition to get the government to bring back the 25 year year road tax exemption. Not sure it will work but it must be worth a try.

I signed, but I read that they need at least 10,000 signatures before it even gets considered. So far there are 1300.

I've seen this exact same petition come up twice over the last couple of years. Unfortunately, the government and mainly europe dont like old cars, I read that they'd like us to not be driving anything older than 10 years old as a daily vehicle.

 

Its a shame, I would love to see the 25 year free tax brought back in, if it did, I would buy at least one maybe two more old cars.

Or you can keep reminding them that all pre 73 cars, dont pay road tax, and then they can change the rules and stop it, then all cars will have to pay it. The goverment needs money, they are hardly going to loose more income by making it a rolling system

Rule still aplies here in Holland but..............with an ending date of 1986. Cars manufactored after that date wont be tax free anymore. First Siera's will, later ons won't.

 

Doesn't matter anyway cause within a few years we have to pay per mile (miletax so to speak).

[Haynesmanual]

Done and dusted

[stuartp]

i have among the paperwork that came with my car, the letter that got sent to the owner when they decided to scrap the 25 years old free road tax scheme. it's been crumpled up and torn in anger and then sellotaped back together again - i can completely understand

 

doubt this petition will make any impact at all but can't hurt to try

[w p e]

done for what good it will do . but you never know

[lhd1600e]
