Thanks for that guys. I hadn't paid any attention to road tax before and had no idea what band my cars were in. In essence unless you have a band g car it isn't going to hurt much. 2p on fuel as well mind.
As for the income tax, I just did some calcs and by getting rid off the 10% bracket it means that the more you earn the better it will be. I will be £50 better off. however the upper band is going to changed in 2009 and that means fair amount better off for those that earn over £43k although NI payments are going up as well.
Confused? you soon will be.
