Car Tax - Collos25
In yesterdays ST there was an article about the DVLA taking 18000 people a month to court for non payment of excise duty ,the reason it was 18000 was that it had reached an agreement with the courts for this figure but it was not enough and a backlog was building up.This amount is mind bending does anybody actually pay anymore?

Hmmm

22 million vehicles on the road or is it 25?

Assuming the "re-taxing" is spread over the year, which it won't be, that's an average of 1,830,000 vehicles being re-taxed each month. 18,000 people being taken to court represents 0.98%.

>>or is it 25?>>

The last figure I saw was about 32.3 million, 27 million of which were cars....:-)

See:

The DVLA website has the figure as well but, as usual, it's very obscure.

All strength to them. The absence of car tax seems to be a good indicator of other absences too -- insurance, for example. And you can't tax a car without valid insurance, of course. Nail the irresponsible cheats.
