So it's back! Should big car owners face higher tax charges?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3202590.stm

I remember this topic been discussed on this NG before the CONge$tion charge
was introduced.

I still believe large engine capacity engines and above average car length
vehicles should face an extra tax.

Also should company's that provide company cars be charged a double vehicle
tax?

This article refers to the vehicle excise duty (road tax) which is
already cheaper for small cars. As the article says, if you buy a 60K
Merc you won't be worried by a VED of £200 or £300.

I have a company car and pay extortionate levels of personal tax on it.
I need a car to do my job. I can't carry 110KG of demo kit on a bus and
public transport doesn't always go where I want to go. In London I use
the tube if not carrying demo stock otherwise I have no choice but to
use the car. To make my employers pay double NI etc on my car makes then
financially worse off for supplying me with something that is essential
to do my job with and generates income for the Govt. in terms of VAT and
tax on profits and the commission I earn.
