					<description><![CDATA[The Times and other news sites are running an advert saying that &quot;NOW I can get my money back.  Refund of unjust fees charged on vehicle registration.&quot;

There is also this email address:

grantscheme.tm@transport.gov.mt

Why is &quot;Your Government&quot; calling this a refund of &quot;fees&quot; rather than a refund of VAT?

It is also unclear why the email suggests that it is a grant scheme.  If it is a refund, it is not a grant.  Are any EU funds being used in this scheme?

I expect a future PN government to open a scheme under which I will get my money back as a refund of the unjust salaries paid on Tana Lkoll appointments and an over-sized cabinet.]]></description>
