Would you agree that the owner of a bicycle does not have to pay a specific tax/duty/etc(s)c to enable him to use the bicycle on the road (forget the exceptions)? No equivalent to VED no, but then they class as Band A if you did want to classify them so it would be zero anyway. Was the question to difficult? Apparently the answer was. Before I get jumped on by the pedants, I will reply again. The answer was evasive, the question asked was not personal to him. But he seems to agree that a bicycle owner/user does not pay.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Here we go again. See Janet in her car. It's a band F car. Janet has never paid a penny in VED, fuel duty or VAT on fuel, repairs, insurance, MOTs, yada yada yada. Janet's cycling husband pays all of it. So 'someone' pays an extra tax in order for the vehichle to be used on the road? Therefore cyclist and bicycle owner, John pays all of the tax that goes with owning and running a car. The driver Janet pays nothing at all and never has. Janet is, in the common parlance, a freeloading motoring scum who pays nothing towards running a car. You are starting to improve the reputation of short planks. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

Do you want to try again, or do you want to try another wriggle? No point - it went over your head the first time. Forget the "exceptions"? There are two million of them! Or 6% as intelligent people would see it. Which mean 94% aren't exceptions. Look up the phrase 'vast majority' in your Osbourne dictionary. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

I pay £245 a year for the privilege and I hardly ever use it. Is there a way of me getting a rebate for not wearing out the bit of road that I am entitled to wear out, having supposedly "paid for it"? Its called divorce. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

It's not necessarily bigger /or/ more polluting cars, as neither of those are used as criteria for establishing the tax level. -- Matt B |

Thank you for agreeing, the question of course was not about if they chose to pay it. No it was whether they had to pay it. Nobody is making them use a Band B or above car. Wriggle alert Thanks for the heads up. Let's hear you wriggle then. Not me, but keep digging. |

"Vehicle tax rates for cars registered on or after 1 March 2001 are split into 13 bands depending on CO2 emissions. The amount you'll pay depends on which band your car is in. The lower a car’s emissions, the lower the vehicle tax payable on it." http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring...le/DG_10012524 I expect you'll try to claim CO2 isn't pollution. -- Tony |

Is the zero rated band of income tax an exception (hardly since it applies to everyone with income) or just a zero rated tax band? . Good so you agree that the payment is a pre-requisite for using the vehicle on the road (being allowed use the road0 No because for quite a few models of car there is no payment. Having a VED disc is a prerequisite but it needn't cost you anything. Wriggle, wriggle The most honest exposition of your position yet. Do you require a spade for your digging? |

It is not how much they pollute, it is their theoretical _potential_ to pollute (well emit CO2) that dictates the tax rate. The amount that is actually emitted during the year is _not_ taken into account. A band M car is taxed at GBP460.00 even if it is kept on the road, but travels zero miles (and thus doesn't pollute at all) in a year. Similarly a band A isn't taxed, even if it travels 100,000 miles in a year and pollutes a lot! -- Matt B |
