There was nothing in there to support the monetary figures suggested by the writer. In fact, the only reference to broadening the existing tax is on pg 192:
So yes, the report suggests that new fuel-inefficient vehicles may be taxed at a higher rate when purchased new, at some point uncertain point in time. The article is written as though the tax would be an annual expense. I also don't think anyone that can afford an X3M would be so affected by an additional $1,000-$2,000 tax increase that it would deter them from their purchase.
As always, I encourage anyone to conduct their own independent review of source documents prior to jumping to any conclusions or relying on opinion pieces. |
agreed! and...if it pushes anyone to buy their x3mc/x4mc sooner, it was a worthwhile post.
