CAR TAX IS GOING UP

Posted by Norman on 7/4/2026, 2:14 pm

The road surfaces today are mostly the same road surface our ex pats drove on years ago. The roads are now bumpy potholed roads and disgraceful because they haven't been maintained. Is ourRoadtax just another tax to pay for what is wasted housing illegalsin hotels etc?
Road tax was supposed to pay for roads and maintenance but its not.

Norman,

Our roads are a disgrace, badly maintained and full of pot holes, when work is carried by the likes of the water board they are left in a poor condition,
I really begrudge paying my Road tax for such incompetence and bad workmanship !

VED (aka ROAD TAX)

Posted by Mac C on 7/4/2026, 5:10 pm, in reply to "Re: CAR TAX IS GOING UP"

Yes the roads are a disgrace but VED is not collected to specifically repair roads. VED is a tax on vehicles based on emissions or vehicle type, not a payment for using the road surface
The concept of it doing so was abolished in 1937.
It can be used for any purpose that the Treasury decides.
