    Is there any such thing as 'road tax'?

    Is there any such thing as 'road tax'?

    Cyclists often report that aggressive motorists justify their behaviour on the basis that they alone pay "road tax". But, there is no such thing.

    It's still a tax, so yea in my view it will always be another scam to line the pockets of parliament, so thus a tax hence road tax

      But road tax was abolished in 1937 and replaced by Vehicle Excise Duty.

        VED is a tax - as I say!

          However, several decades later it was still commonly referred to as Road Fund Licence. Go figger.

            To quote the website...
            "Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) is an annual tax on the ownership of road vehicles..."

            If VAT was renamed as Value Added Duty it'd still be a tax. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

                  I understood that it was last hypothecated (link) as "Road Fund Tax" when Churchill was the Chancellor of the Exchequer and, thereafter, it was just paid into the Consolidated Fund of general taxation.
