Budget 2020

[dergside]

Not entirely sure which motorists that completecar think the budget was tough on - but all things considered I think motorists got way very lightly.

Agreed. I sent details of a couple of cars to my brother in the UK last night so that he might be able to look at one or two for me, but suggested he wait until after the budget, just in case. Two are in what has been the €750 road tax, and corresponding VRT, band and I was a little worried they might take a significant hit. Maybe they're showing some intent for future years, but I'd consider the hit on these to be modest. Still a long way to go to cost what the CC based cars are costing.

Having said that, I can't quite shake the feeling there could be another shoe to drop....... There is a mention in that article about an uplift on imports to bring them in to line with WLTP emissions, but not clear exactly clear what the context of that is.
