Petition for Free Tax

[dizzibird]

Here's a petition close to many of our hearts (and wallets), and hence worth signing, if only to keep pressure on our 'friends' in Downing Street reminding them that motorists exist and will not put up with yet more costs and stealth taxes.................. They only care about your votes so let them know how you feel!

Most Classic vehicles are used for fair-weather low-mileage "fun and rally" purposes rather than everyday transport.
Originally the Road Tax exemption was supposed to be after the vehicle was 25 years old, but this idea was quietly scrapped about 10 years ago.

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Advance the 1972 cut-off date for Classic Vehicle Road Tax exemption by 10 years.

Please click link to 10 Downing Street website: petitions.pm.gov.uk/ClassicRoadTax/

Please then send it to as many interested friends as you can think of.

Thanks!

I don't know whether to sign this or not, if the government do this they will be down plenty of revenue and likely to hit us with a classic vehicle tax instead?

The government is trying to clear the roads of old vehicles so that when a pay per mile tax is introduced and the technology to track everyone accurately available, alternate fuel vehicles can be used and petrol as a main tax income scrapped. Its unlikely that old cars will need to conform to this tracking to the same degree........then us petrol heads will be buggered!!!
