New road tax: which owner will lose and who will? "you can get away with anything" (Bye)


For the sake of the interests of the beneficiaries “Climate crisis” the Greek government is preparing “turn out your pockets” residents of Greece for all their economic activities, such as using a car.

A wide-ranging plan to adjust road taxes, which 5,423,700 car owners pay annually, will be proposed by the Ministry of Finance as soon as their payment is completed on February 29, MEGA TV channel reports.

At the same time, budget opportunities will be explored to stimulate the recycling process in order to remove cars 20 years old and older from the roads and replace them with new, more… “green” vehicles. Government economic headquarters plan:

  • Reduced car taxes:
    1st year of treatment, from 1/11/2010 Until now, concerns 1,168,000 passenger cars.
  • No changes to vehicle fees (as the burden on owners is already high):
    1st year of registration until 31/10/2010 – concerns 4,400,000 vehicles.
  • Incentives for removal from roads: 4,400,000 vehicles: 1st year of registration until 2010.

Reason for which EU wants to introduce a “green” tax on everything, simple. High taxes can help impoverish citizens so they consume less and therefore… pollute less, as economic activity in general will be reduced. But they cannot say this directly, so they use other narratives that are more acceptable to citizens who want to believe that they live in “ideally democratic regimes”.
