What absolute rubbish! The owner of the vehicle is the person who paid for it (bought it) or the person who was given it (as a gift). Just google 'difference between the owner and registered keeper of a car' and you get plenty of results. For example, this one from Thames Valley Police (and I think they should be a good provenance!) http://www.thamesvalley.police.uk/faq-answer?id=Q743
It is the Police, not DVLA, that have the power to sieze uninsured cars, as provided for in new legislation in 2005. The registered keeper has committed a criminal offence and if they do not pay the fines and reclaim their car then the Police and the courts have the power to have the car destroyed. With regards to Road Tax it hasn't been called that for many many years and I hardly think it is some new revelation that most of the money goes elsewhere, other than to roads......

... and for that matter road pricing is hardly a new idea. Anyone remember the referendum under the Labour government about congestion charging in Manchester? And the even more ridiculous plans the Labour government were drawing up for variable charging on ALL roads and making us all have little black boxes fitted to our cars ? ??
The report yesterday suggesting road pricing could be an option was by the RAC (a 'motoring' organisation!!) and the Institute of Fiscal Studies, not the government. Nothing new, nothing to see here. |

Everything in 'life' is 'on loan' which you relinquish when you shuffle off this mortal coil.

It all sounded quite plausible to me.
After all, we don't own the roads we drive on even though we pay through the nose for them ![]() But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing... |

As pointed out - so many holes in it. The V5 does not change the ownership. The ownership lies with the person who completed the contract between the previous owner and themselves. That contract usually takes the form of buyer paying an amount agreed with the seller (doesn't have to be cash) and the seller passing ownership on. The V5 simply records the keeper so the Govt can keep tabs on it.
If we simplify it down to T.V's. The govt doesn't take ownership of all the tellies just because you bought a licence. With regards to taxation and appropriate % spent from revenue. That's another pointless argument. With regards to charged on road use. If they rescind the RFL, and revert to a charge per mile with lesser charges for rural use and increased charges for commuting then it would be worth looking at. The only way for that to work is to have a JTD box in your car, and I really, really don't want those because it's the beginning of the end ![]() |

Just wondering, what's UK tax for a 110 Puma? I pay 800 Euro here... Tell someone you love them today because life is short.

Depends, mine is £265 or something because it's PLG. Some Station Wagons were registered as cars not commercial and attracted £400 odd. LR since applied for, and got, a reduction back to commercial PLG rating so new ones are still £260/£280
