Seems a bit mixed messaged that ipayroadtax – genuinely don’t know what it’s driving at. Is it – ‘See me on this bike here? I’m paying nowt, lad. Here’s a big picture of a tax disc to remind you of the £135 you’re shelling out for permission to take your shit car commute’.
Or is it ‘There’s actually no such thing as road tax, fnar fnar – I pity the fool who does not grasp contemporary legislative nomenclature.’
Or maybe a more sober ‘Actually I do pay ‘road tax’ just like you because I also own a car, so just chill OK?’
What gives?It means: roads are paid for from general taxation, not from vehicle tax, so therefore all taxpayers pay ‘roadtax’.
Not as snappy on a shirt though, granted.
