@dneary@mastodon.ie @peterbrown@mastodon.scot @MrAndrewD@aus.social @notjustbikes@social.notjustbikes.com And recently I found out that small business owners use the costs of such a monstertruck as a way to bring the profits of their one man company down so they are taxed less.
They need a car for their tools and materials anyway and now they get more pleasure and status out of it.
Their job by itself gives less of that? And they like to Dodge taxes just like their big hero entrepreneurs?

@rrustema020@mastodon.nl @dneary@mastodon.ie @MrAndrewD@aus.social @notjustbikes@social.notjustbikes.com I have often suggested disallowing cars, small vans, petrol and diesel against tax, and allowing all public transport fares against tax. It could cause a surprising amount of modal shift, especially amongst higher-rate taxpayers. And it would remove the incentive to buy these monsters.
