Excise Licence Duty misappropriation by Government
Reverse the indiscriminate method of monthly duty. The system is now fully automated and capable of just calculating the duty for the days the owner has the vehicle on the road. Now the duty is collected twice for the same vehicle in the same month.
Why is this important?
It's important that the Inland Revenue are fair to the tax payer. Collecting for days you didn't use the car on the road feels like theft. I got caught twice because I have a private number plate. I had to pay road tax for the vehicle I was buying on 14th November. By the time all the documents were returned & I took delivery of the new car on 2nd December, I lost the whole month. I correctly sent off the sale part of the V5 for my old car on 2nd December but won't get a refund for any of December, it's unfair.
