I've just seen the banner link about signing a petition for against a so called caravan tax. You've got to be kidding me...! I cannot believe that we are now set to be persecuted by 'New Labour' for not flying abroad. We will already be paying an increased road fund license as we generally need larger cars to tow our vans. Do they not understand that we contribute a huge financial amount to local business where we holiday along with funding and fattening the government purses through VAT, fuel duty, tax bills of those local business through holidaying for the main part, here in the UK.

I for one can't afford to keep living here in the UK, or as I now call it, 'Treasure Island'. The latest round of increases in water, gas, electric, council tax, road tax and fuel duty are just ridiculous. We are now taxed at a greater level than ever before...New Labour, it's a joke it should just be called Old Labour if you ask me.  

Apologies for the political rant at 9.07am on a Sunday. Sign that petition everyone!

There is no way a caravan or trailer can be road taxed....The vehicle excise duty only applies to vehicles fitted with it's own power to manouver it....e.g. the engine! I am in favour though of a type of MOT for a caravan or trailer which shows it is roadworthy and safe to live in.

Okay, hands up, I fell for it too!  Mind you, it was a little too close to the truth which is why it was so believable.

Hi,

Sorry if anyone was too alarmed..but the response to the petition shows exactly how much opposition there would be should ever such a scheme be introduced.

Not one person should feel foolish as the amount of signatures over the course of just one day shows how much opposition any scheme would generate - and how much of a fight any government trying to implement such a scheme would have on their hands

As I stated when I voted, if caravans need road tax, then I will give it up and start to take holidays on the big air polluting silver birds....so it aint gaining anything!!
