![AA: Drivers think road tax used as]()
The study from the AA found 82 per cent of its members believed backdating vehicle excise duty (VED) is harming drivers who cannot afford to change their cars.
Following this, AA president Edmund King has written to the chancellor asking for the abolishment of backdated VED for cars registered between 2001 and 2006.
"We believe that the retrospective nature of the tax increases for cars registered between 2001 and 2006 should be scrapped before it becomes a '10p tax on wheels'," Mr King said.
He added it was considered "a mean tax rather than a green tax".
In the study, 77 per cent of respondents thought backdating tax would damage the value of used cars, while 58 per cent said they had not seen information about changes for cars registered after 2001.
