    Car park tax coming in.

    From 2010, companies will be charged £185 per parking space per year if they have 10 or more spaces.

    Expect to see companies sell off the car parks or convert them, apart from 9 spaces for the Directors to use. Or you can pay the £185 yourself no doubt.

    Good old New Labour. Always thinking of ways to tax in stealth mode.

    Stop press - of course the Conservatives will have won an election by then, so we won't have to pay.

        Dot be silly. £5/day to deal with this.

        80p for the car tax and £4.20 to invest in sources of greener transport for myCo.

          I wouldn't bet on it - Didn't the Tories recently propose charging for supermarket car parking ? I thought Cameron had really lost the plot, alienating every shopper in the land, but luckily most voters seem to have memories like goldfish and nothing has been heard about the idea since. Please God don't let him be stupid enough to mention it ever again!
