Motor tax


That this Council seeks a more innovative reply from the Ministers office with regard to the cost of motor tax and a individuals difficulties in paying this tax in one instalment only.

The reply to my motion from the Minister’s office did not offer any solution to this difficulty. Other Councils also sought justice with regards to the payment of this tax. It comes across as a rural V city divide. Most people cannot afford a new car which ultimately means dearer tax. Running a car is very expensive because of vat, carbon tax, excise duty and petrol. If a individual says “ I need my car and l want to pay my road tax”, where is the support. I support the call for monthly instalment payments of the motor tax.
