VK: Belasting voor Asobakken gaat omhoog

""Chelsea tractor" drivers and air travellers face substantial increases in tax as part of Gordon Brown's pre-budget report next month. According to a report in today's Financial Times, the chancellor is preparing to increase the top rate of vehicle excise duty for the most polluting cars, including four-wheel-drive vehicles.

Air travellers also face a rise in air passenger duty, a move which follows the Stern report on climate change, which called for urgent action on global warming.
At the moment, travellers pay duty of £5 for short-haul flights and up to £40 on long-haul journeys."
