I have to pay road tax for owning a car :)
- pipes 3y agoOnly if you drive the car on public roads! :) You can declare it off the road or whatever the term is.
- robertlagrant 3y agoTechnically correct. The best kind of correct.
- Lio 3y agoNot in the UK; Winston Churchill abolished “Road Tax” in 1937. We do have Vehicle Excise Duty but it’s not a road tax.
- robertlagrant 3y agoColloquially it's still called Road Tax. Like if someone says "Wait for the Tannoy announcement" you're not obliged to say "Actually they're using the SpeakLouder 3000. Tannoy lost the contract 37 years ago next Tuesday."
