    Can you post some analysis to back this up please? (preferably, avoid the illogical, fact-free ranting of the WDB123 poster above).

    Fact free,department of transport taxaction rates are online look them up,nothing illogical about it.
    What I quoted on was 44ton vehicle GVW

    Its actually based on the weight of the vehicle, which is pretty sensible imo (at least in NSW anyway)

    That system seems to have been brought in as of july 2014 in NSW, I got my figures from QLD.

    its an odd one, it will be interesting to see what effect jt has on car sales, it could spell the end of the domestic industry in Australia, which would be a shame as they are the only ones still producing large engined rwd cars in any great number

    I was paying weight based rego back in Sydney in 2010 - rates may have changed in 2014 I guess. Different states have different approaches alright though.

    Anyway - the original idea mooted in this thread makes sense to me. I have three cars with 3.0 litre engines and above - only one I tax all year round is the 56 a year one :D Would be more likely to tax the others if the rate was more reasonable instead of having them SORN'd.
