Then you should inform our government that they are misnaming this

I doubt that that the person who prepared the web page is entitled to
set legal precedent for terminology - the proper term is "Vehicle
Excise Duty".

However please *all* note that it is not a "Road Tax" and the 1930's
phrase isn't mentioned.

For the hard of searching try here first:

Pathetic post as always.
You really are a pillock.

That's because, as you have been told again and again, there is no
such
thing as Road Tax.

It's called road tax, just like a vacuum cleaner is called a
hoover. I
don't ce if the government allocates it somewhere else like nuclear
weapons, it's still road tax.

If there was such thing as Road Tax, *everything* that uses the
*Road*
would have to pay the *Tax*.

and I say this a a car driver.

Everything does, according to the wear it causes. Cars pay some,
lorries pay a lot.

And many cars pay no car tax at all.

AAMOF, no cars pay road tax.

Have you become a cyclist or contracted OCD? It's road tax, everybody
calls it that. It's a tax vehicles pay to use the road.

No vehicles pay tax of any sort.

Tax is anything given to the government. Council tax, VAT, income tax,
road tax, etc, etc.

No vehicles give, donate or pay any tax.

This is not controversial.

You really are tedious. Where's that "rational thought" that you once had?

I'm part of Everyone... and I don't call it Road Tax - I call it Vehicle
Excise Duty, because that's what it is called.

So you are incorrect.

If it is a vehicle tax, why must it be paid to use said vehicle on roads?

Normal people call it road tax. Normal people (including non drivers)
will know what is meant by it, whereas you would get many blank faces
when calling it Vehicle Excise Duty or VED (which does sound like a
nasty disease)

Try a google for it and you will see that the .gov.uk site is first in
the list, why is that?

I'll reword your question slightly, if I may.

If Road Tax is only a vehicle tax, why is it only due (at whatever rate)
in respect of motor vehicles used on the road?

Why isn't it due on vehicles which are kept or used off-road?

He was wrong.

He should have written: "It's Road Tax; everybody with common sense
calls it Road Tax".
