A government issued piece of paper saying "road tax" on it. A piece of primary or secondary legislation defining what "Road Tax" is and what it costs? You assert it exists, despite the substantial evidence to the contrary, so please prove your assertion. Now you are being even more silly than usual. Have you read and remembered nothing at all? |

Everybody either calls it road tax or a tax disk (before they made it paperless). Everybody does not. You probably meant "Not everybody does", because "Everybody does not" (with its completely different meaning) is patently untrue and a non-starter. Most people will understand the meaning. Besides, my phrase does not mean "nobody does" so is not an untruth. That being the case, we can easily forgive your clumsy attempt at manipulation of the language and accept that you were right in what you were trying to say but couldn't quite manage: there are indeed some people who - for various reasons which are entirely their own - do not call Road Tax "Road Tax". For that reason JSW's "Everybody either calls it road tax or a tax disk" has to be seen as a figure of speech with "everybody" only meaning "a majority". There, for instance, some people who cannot deal with anything in terms not provided for in "government legislation". There are others who cannot deal with any concepts in a way which undermines a point they wish to try to make and are prepared to go to ever more extreme extremities to avoid admitting the truth. There may well be a considerable overlap between those two groups. Look up the evolution of the English language, colloquialisms, something, please. You're boring the group to tears. Taking about something nick named "road tax" is the truly boring bit. The real boring bit is the anorak-ish harumphing insistence that the majority are wrong and the self-interested minority are right. JSW is right insofar as he remarks (in terms) that most people call Road Tax "Road Tax" and that is is perfectly acceptable to refer to that tax in that way. I would add that anyone professing not to undserstand the term is trying, but failing, to be deceitful. "Government legislation" so loved of another poster here has never yet managed to define and prescribe the English language as she is spoken. It is notable how you consistently dare not use the term VED as though you're frightened it will summon the devil. It is very simple to say "most people refer to VED as road tax". Remind us - what is "road tax"? Try to keep it to one sentence containing less than 10 words. |

It's always simpler to call someone stupid when you can't explain something you hold dear. See another post nearby. It merely continues to cast aspertions. I can't find a single finance act referring to it since about 1937. Do you also believe in the Bedroom Tax? You won't find that in a Finance Act, either. You were asked a question. Was I? Yes. People usually leave a clue when they use the "?" symbol. |

How likely is it that you would even accept, let alone assert, that your own silly behaviour is silly? Likewise were you to assert that there is a giant green teapot orbiting the Moon, I would want you to provide proof. If I advised you that the Head of State is a female, would you want proof of that (and if so, why)? Both the teapot and "Road Tax" are equally as fictitious. No-one has to pay any tax to use the road. Are you asserting - stupidly - that the owner or registered keeper of a motor vehicle (let's say, for avoidance of doubt, a Ford Mondeo) may lawfully use or keep that vehicle on a highway (in the UK) without having paid a tax related to that use of that vehicle? |

Why are you scared of the term 'road tax' ? Type it into google, it is clearly explained there. |
