EU Petitions Committee accept Unfair Irish Car Tax petition for Investigation

EU Petitions Committee has accepted the Unfair Irish Motor Tax petition for Investigation. This is an endorsement of you and all the 29,500 signatories of the petition at https://www.change.org/p/unfair-car-tax-law EU Petition original text: Economic injustice due to maladministration in Ireland of the EU Carbon & Water directive causing a Two Tier Motor Tax system where owners of older (pre-2008) cars pay, typically, 3 TIMES more annual motor tax than those who can afford new cars (€700 v €280 p.a.). €439 million from Motor tax is used each year to fund Irish water, thus, ALSO subsidising water charges of those who can afford new cars. This Irish law, in response to EU directives, is a serious maladministration and is totally unacceptable. UK MPs refused to implement this (equivalent) law in 2004 and it was amended to represent the legitimate wishes of their UK electorate and delivered fairness. 13,000 (now 29,500) have signed the Unjust Irish Car Tax petition calling for a fair just Irish motor tax system at: https://www.change.org/p/unfair-car-tax-law Unnecessary passing of "regressive" tax laws in Ireland has caused political reactions in the streets and social divisions and hardship to lower socio economic groups. Progressive, appropriate, fair and moderate tax laws to fund public services and meet EU directives are acceptable.
