Car Tax Disc to be axed after 93 years!

[Lee S]

I was under the impression that very little of the vehicle excise duty went on the roads. It just goes into the coffers and gets used for multiple other things aside from the upkeep of the roads. Road tax was abolished in the 1920s or 30s and VED is now just a tax on owning a vehicle rather than a tax for using the roads. That's how I saw it anyway.
