Showroom tax. Its a first year tax on new vehicle based on the emissions.

What I strongly disagree with is the fact they use emission levels as a base, but dont take into account mileage. A higher emissions level car doing less miles a year can be charged more than a lower emission level car doing ten times the mileage - resulting in the lower emission level car actually pumping out more CO2.

Hows about this for a showroom tax disc....

Even the showroom tax is emissions based - before you do any mileage at all! Its just bonkers.
