hissingsid Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 So the proposed road tax hike isn’t on tomorrow’s list. I wonder when it will get sneaked in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because tomorrow is a sitting of the House of Keys and (as Minster Thomas pointed out above) the Vehicle Duty Order is due to go before next week's sitting of Tynwald Court (item 26) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has one politician stood up against it? No doubt we'll get Chris Turpin's faux sympathy. Wonder where that extra revenue will go as the highways are fine? Not had a big idea from the DoI for while so we must be due one pretty soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Juan was on the front page of one of the local rags speaking against it a few weeks back. I think it may , hopefully, get some opposition well it would be nice and we can always dream 😜. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was withdrawn before it got to the sitting, under Baker's jurisdiction if my memory serves me. Would have seen workmen's vans paying well over £500 to tax.

hissingsid Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Thomas needs to withdraw this too if he wants another term in Tynwald . His popularity is waning as it is remember Anne Corlett got more votes than him last time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s withdrawn then budget will be cut in other areas like planned roads improvements, maybe harbors etc . Thomas has already stated this will happen as the money has to come from somewhere else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x-in-man Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 It could come from the money saved form NOT doing the roads because they are in such good condition. They either are - or they ain't. They need fixing (badly) or they don't. Stop spending on shite jobs on the road network like raised crossings, shite dangerous road crossings, wrong coloured road crossing and piss poor dressings. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
