It will cost us dearly
The EU is cancelling the system of paper tax discs for the road fund licence from October 1, 2014.
Article 91 of the Lisbon Treaty requires the EU to create a common road transport policy to include VAT, vehicle taxes and fuel taxes.
The RAC says that the additional tax evasion resulting from this change will cost the British exchequer £167m a year in lost income. The EU are making a very expensive mistake in harmonising the system of road fund licences within the EU.
