 Restoring the rolling 30 year VED exemption - Mike Hannon
I didn't think the VED exemption had ever been 'rolling'. It was always 1972 from the start wasn't it? Which happened to be 25 years back from the date of introduction. I was grateful (although bemused) enough to take advantage of it when it was introduced but I never really understood why it came about. Why should owners of old vehicles not pay for using the road? If they only do a relatively few miles a year they could pay a reduced rate. I never could get used to the word 'historic' on the tax disc of any of my old cars. Interesting yes, historic - not really.
I think the VED exemption is difficult to defend, let alone extend. And I also don't believe in the efficacy of petitions. In my experience of local government a petition with 1,000 signatures is regarded as one objection.
Have you seen the number of e-petitions on that government website? Democracy falling victim to easy comms technology, I fear.
