Commuters could face £350 tax parking fees at workplace

This is just getting crazy, what next the Government charging us for the air we breathe. It has now been said that commuters could face £350 tax parking fees at workplace, this means that you will pay tax on your workplace parking spaces because the Government are wanting to encourage you out of your car and onto public transport. Personally what a load of bullocks, they just want as much money from you as they can possibly get.

This new scheme is planned as an alternative to congestion charging, the reason is because it is thought that it is easier to collect and much cheaper, this is the first from local authorities at Nottingham City Council, there are another 8 councils which include the Devon County Council that are planning similar schemes.

If employers have more than 10 parking spaces they will have to pay this tax and of which most of these employers will charge their employees, so not only do we have to pay congestion charges now they want to slap another tax scheme on us.
