  • Wow:

    How much drivers pay in tax to buy a new SUV
    BMW X5 (emissions of 196gm CO2/km)

    France €60,000
    Netherlands €32,870
    UK €1,805

  • I saw that too.

    To check my understanding, when I buy a €80k bmw x5 then:

    France = €120k
    NL = €113k
    UK = €82k

    ?

    I mean I'm all for taxing the fuckers, but closing on 100% tax seems a bit mental.

  • There's virtually zero community positives and lots of negatives for them so why not.

    I guess it's like the hefty tax on cigarettes.

  • As M. Greenbank said, it's just incentivising lower polluting cars. Sound policy

    Nissan Qashqai (142g CO2/km)

    France €1,172
    Netherlands €8,770
    UK €294

    Not half as mental as the fact these vehicles are allowed to exist. High duty was the first step in banning cigarettes.
