In the UK we have to pay an annual road tax for every car we own, this then allows us to legally (if the car has an MOT certificate and you are insured) to drive on British roads.
Once a car is three years old it has to be tested each year to ensure that it is in a roadworthy condition, if it is an MOT certificate is issued: to obtain a road tax disc the MOT certificate must be valid.

Here in the U.S., taxes vary from state-to-state. For instance, in my state, there is a personal property tax that must be paid on all vehicles, boats, homes and any other large "luxury" items. We also must have the vehicle inspected annually, no matter its age. We also must have our vehicle registered with the Division of Motor Vehicles and in the county in which we live. Basically, owning a car, by the time you sell it, costs more than actually buying the thing!
Each registration (state, county) requires a payment (welcome to American "freedom"), of course. Inspections are not free and you can be ticketed and your car impounded for not having the proper inspection done. You must also have insurance coverage. Oh yeah, did I mention tolls? Many roads have a toll associated with them. Some are as little as 5 cents (.02 pounds), others as much as $20 dollars (9.93 pounds).Again, this varies from state-to-state. In some states, it is not a requirement to have insurance, in others, emissions ratings are policed more than actual crime.
Petikan 3This is the Malaysia road tax rates, which made with effective from 1st January 2007. Road tax rates have been lowered by amounts in between 0.6% to 33%. Although it’s a difference of only MYR10 to MYR20 but it at least can help to reduce citizen financial burden. Hopefully that the government can propose new road tax rates in the 2009 Budget.
