My apologies if this has been done to death before, can someone explain why every time I receive my road tax renewal form the price has gone up again without any warning whatsoever?
My car is 10 yrs old, a Peugeot 206 2ltr diesel, it produces very low emissions, according to the manufacturer details of the time, yet it goes up by £5/10 each time it needs renewing, we are currently at £112.50 for 6 months and £205 for 12?
I just missed out on the cut off point for the new taxation rules in 2001 but the engines remained the same in newer models, those cars received tax cuts of around £50/60, (they were at time of purchase about £155pa). Ever since, I have been screwed with incessant rises without any reason being given, this is blatantly unfair and a total ripoff!!!
I live on the outskirts of the town centre and work in the town centre so my car is not needed for most of the time, only trips/visits etc, but is required!! I cannot afford a new one or take advantage of scrappage etc so am really stuck in this "catch 22" situation, need one but can barely afford the costs, cant sell it cos I cant afford the new one??
Anyone else noticed/suffering from this same situation, really does get my back up, pure greed and nothing else??
