I awoke this morning to the news that people like me, who have to use a major motorway or two in order to get to work, could soon be paying more for road tax.
Of course, at the moment it is purely one of the proposals being considered, but, should it come into being, then it would provide me with an interesting dilemma.
Over the years I’ve been very happy, almost ecstatic when it has come to the yearly ritual of taxing the Port household vehicles.
Out of the three we have on the road, two of them have usually been eligible for tax exempt status and so clicking the ‘give me my free tax disc’ button on the DVLA website has always been accompanied by a smile.
Recently though, I’ve not done myself any favours on that front.
I could almost forgive the last of our taxable classics – the Austin Mini – because it didn’t cost anything in the first place and then only cost just over £100 for the whole year anyway, thanks to it’s pocket rocket engine.
However, it is the Scimitar GTE that finds itself falling foul of the ‘classics and tax’ situation.
