This will send a stronger signal to the buyer about the environmental implications of their car purchase
The tax is included in the cost of the car, not really going to notice 200 quid on a 16k car.
More tax on fuel? are you crazy!
If anything it should be based on chassis size and not emissions. The size of the vehicle will dictate how much wear and tear it has on the roads surely.
I agree with Bazzon, knock car tax on the head and tax fuel more.
In this country, to drive a car on the road you pay the following taxes:
Road Fund License (Car tax)
Fuel Duty
VAT on the fuel price and on the fuel duty
Insurance Premium Tax
and if you want to drive in the Capital, Congestion Charge.
Its not right I tell ya!
