Why does it make any difference whether it is a luxury vehicle or not?
- brixon 8y agoBecause you need to always look like you want to tax the rich more.

- EpicEng 8y agoIf you want to tax the crap out of vehicles (like Denmark) then it makes sense to give some relief to people who just need to get around as opposed to people who can afford a 50k+ car. I suppose.
- ska 8y agoWhy does (specifically) taxing any luxury make sense?
- Grimm665 8y agoIf you are going to introduce a flat tax on a good--say 5% for all members of society regardless of wealth--that tax would affect the poor more than it affects the rich, even if it is functionally the same amount of money. With this in mind, it may make sense to apply such a tax only to goods that are purchased more often by those that have the means to pay the extra tax without needing to make sacrifices for it, e.g. a luxury tax.
