Recently, I purchased a car for Lm6,000 (€13,980). This was prior to the change to the euro. MEPs Joseph Muscat (MLP) together with Simon Busuttil (PN) have both stated in this paper that VAT on registration is illegal according to EU law. What must I or anybody else in the same predicament do to recoup the extra four per cent paid?

These two gentlemen from either side of the political spectrum are duty bound to enlighten us weaklings as to the steps we have to take to recoup our hard earned, illegally unsurped, cash from our limited resources. It seems that vehicle owners subjected to 50 per cent registration tax (whichever the vehicle value, provided it is within this 50 per cent parameter) are being made to unfairly fork out four per cent of the value of the final price of the vehicle. The table below is meant to illustrate this.

My final appeal to the two MEPs is: help us to help you in getting re-elected!
