Direct debit payments are now showing as £48.56 each month for both Signum and Tata.

£48.56 x 12 = £582.72 (twice)

[STEMO]

I believe they've only gone up for rich people, the rest of us are ok.

Mine is still £17.06, same as last month.

But jeeeeze, a grand a year in road tax. 

I like petrol engines, but not that much. 

As mentioned before, a 3.0 twin turbo 6 cylinder petrol in M140 is just £130 a year!

I know the V70 was re-taxed at the beginning of July this year and is slightly more expensive than the Omega which was taxed last December so as they were at one time the same amount then the price must have increased at least once this year.

Historically older cars get very little tax change, just inflation. Can’t see them doing anything on older diesels, just new ones.

Yeah, mine (66 plate) was £140 pa. As for the below £40k, I think you'd do well to spec one up to that level. Mine had most things (auto, heated seats, Harmon kardon, pro nav etc) and was £32k and I didn't get the best deal around. Certainly back then, you could get a Billy basic manual car for high £20k's.

At that price its a lot of performance for the money. When it works

I've figured it out. Car tax went up from £46.81 to £48.56 in April 2018.

DD on Tata ran from August to August so £48.56 only paid for September and October so far.

Signum DD runs from November to November so I'm still paying the old rate of  £46.81......until November when it will be the same as the Jag.
