Cat C is the one that is heavily being penalised by the COE system. The quota is also the lowest among the categories.
If you do not buy a car, the COE does not affect you.
But, the rise in CAT C will mean that the transport cost, daily neccessities, logistics, ground mails that depends on trucks, busses are affected by it.
To tax the rich more(which I am always in favour of), the current concept of using cc is outdated.
The COE allocation should be based on OMV. Different range of OMV will have different allocation. At least, in theory, those who wish to drive a BMW at 1600cc will have to fork out more than before.
Letting them get away with a lower COE is not the way.
