The cost of the Civil War prompted Congress to restore the excise taxes and to impose a tax on personal income. The tax rate at that time was 3% and proved inadequate for the war needs, so Congress passed new excise taxes on a broader range of items and began taxing licenses, professions, and trades. Following the Civil War the need for revenue declined and Congress abolished the income tax in 1872. For the next 30 years nearly all revenue was collected from the various excise taxes.

The Government has been consistently raising the cost of vehicles with high CO2 emissions. The top vehicle excise band (VED) has an annual rate of £425 for road fund licence renewals. If you also include the cost of "first year rates", also known as showroom tax at £950 you are adding a considerable amount to the contract. Over a three year contract you will be adding £1800 to the cost of the contract, on a typical 3+35 agreement this will be in the region of £50 a month. First year rates were introduced from April 2010 in a government drive for CO2 emission awareness.

You are required to file the Form 2290 for every single month that your vehicle is on our nation's highways, and if you get caught avoiding this tax or pulling sneaky tactics to pay a lower fee, you can face additional penalties, legal fines, or even incarceration.

Individuals have the option of being refunded the actual amount paid, if they retained their telephone bills, or taking the standard refund. Those choosing the actual amount paid must include form 8913 Credit for Federal Telephone Excise Tax Paid with their return.

You can take this deduction, even if you do not file an itemized return.

The amount of allowable deduction phases out for taxpayers with a modified adjusted gross income of between $125,000 to $135,000 for those filing individually and a modified adjusted gross income of between $250,000 to $260,000 for those who file jointly.
