You are also likely paying a tax to encourage them not to relocate to a cheaper part of the EU. Good news is cars should be cheaper to buy.

              According to Sky


              Sources said that Honda was likely to relocate the manufacturing capability at Swindon to its home market of Japan.

              The ability to guarantee tariff-free exports to the EU is understood to have been among the factors persuading the company of the merits of its decision.
              Clever old Japan with its FTA with EU.

                Who cares? The future is in services anyway, taxes from the City will pay for nice reduction in income tax rates!
