Good grief - "tyre tax"

[Mincey]

Drivers could be forced to pay 'tyre tax' in crackdown on emissions from worn wheels and brakes | This is Money

You can guarantee if this is implemented the “tyre tax” will go on then the 20% VAT on top.

When the geniuses find out that we have comfort features in our cars, they will be taxed too.

Moonroof tax on top of the sunroof tax.

Remote control tax.

Air in the tyres tax.

And in order to reduce pollution we will get a meter on our mouths to see how much CO2 we emit.

With all the money they thus can get in there will be bonus for the politicians in form of extended vacation with free travel to desired place.

It costs 50p at my local filling station to check/ adjust tyre pressures which no doubt includes 20% VAT so we are already paying that tax 😀

Fortunately I have a compressor and digital pressure gauge so don’t have to donate further.

Carrier bags are my favourite, I would rather struggle than pay the bag tax!

well if they maintained the roads then less mucked up tyres throwing rubber into the air etc.

I want to know when cows will be taxed for breaking wind, or will it be car drivers who have that f*rts taxed first

Assalytic converters for all 😀

Just another journalistic exercise to wind the general public up.

funny you should say that .  New Zealand Govt is introducing cow number restrictions in light of the known emission s ( scandal ) coming from the mouths of cows ........

There will be some wires poking through the tyres before they are changed if this comes in
