I have recently moved from the IOM to England and have brought my car with me.

It is currently registered and taxed on the IOM.

Has anyone done this befor and does anyone know what the procedure is for re-registering in the UK?

Thanks.

 

Its all just tax by another name.

 

No it's not though. Most of these charges are paid by the householder, not the individual and they are disporportionately punished.

 

Just increase income tax ffs and cut costs elsewhere.

I agree that people are being disproportionally penallised.

Government cuts the budgets of departments and rather than trying to economise the costs are passed on to the people.

Its the same with local rate rises such as Onchan, central government cuts, then the commissioners just press the people for more money.

The Government deceives itself that it is saving money.

If this expenditure is needed then income tax should be raised.

Imposing these kind of charges is penalising those on fixed incomes such as pensioners and it takes up a high proportion of less well off people's income. £100 per year can easilly be absorbed by these 'hight net worth' people, but may be a struggle for someone on a minimum wage.

I suggest a boycot!!

Does anyone have a link to this with more information and details?

Water meters would be a good idea.

Why don't we have them over here?

Did I hear on Manx Radio that the Government is to introduce a £50 charge for every household to cover the cost of sewerage management?

What will they think of next?
