why,
because across the irish sea, or just down the m1 if you live in northern ireland, the southern irish are being shafted harder and faster than you can even imagine!
current tax system is based on cc, going from 200 odd euro for a 1.1 to €1,491 euro for anything over 3.2 i.e. my m3
cars registered from new after 1 july 08 will be based on a co2 system, so bmw 520 with ed good, 150 euro per year, new m3 bad 2k per year.
All this in addition to the lovely registration tax we pay, for example i imported my o2 m3 from the north, paid £17k stg for it and then for the privilege to legall drive it around on roads no further than 50 miles from where i bought it, i paid another €9,000 to over government.
So stop moaning
