I'm afraid that's not quite true. We paid the same tax (VAT, I'm not aware of any others) when we belonged to the EU as part of the purchase price. Now it is excluded and is chargeable by the UK rather than the supplying EU country. So nothing's changed there. Regarding import duty and associated fees, these too have always been levied on goods from "external markets" such as the United States and China and the principle was established long before the EEC was even born. You're correct though to say that it's an increased cost for the consumer. I wonder if it's waived on the manufacturing contracts EU countries have with China where virtually everything now originates. Or is it just hidden from view? Now there's a question! Simon

It is people not questioning anything that has led us to this state the country is in, and the politicians are laughing at us. |

The "obscene amount of UK tax" you refer to is also 20% so you're no worse off in terms of purchase tax. All the best, Simon

This discussion should be somewhere else.
Not necessarily car related, certainly not 75 or ZT and it's political. Sent from my POT-LX1 using Tapatalk
