Been increased recently, has it?


Maybe worthwhile if doing interstellar mileage, but the last 20 years
doing up to 20k miles (less the last couple) I've found it easier and
cheaper to own the car personally and claim at the AMAP rates.


Given that in recent years, car tax (both BIK and VED) have moved to be
CO2 based, the nasty little sting they've added recently is an extra
£310/year based on the list price of the car, purely on a "well you can
afford it" basis ...


Someone has to pay for the Tory income tax cuts to the best off. Why not
the motorist?
