Apparently in April this year my 2003 Omega 3.2 V6 will attract a (K band) tax of £360 pa, compared to £340 currently.

As I will be renewing my car tax in February it will still be at the lower rate. Going up to £360 is ok by me though, :y

I'm not finding talk of a massive increase from a google search either  :-\

band K rate will increase from £340 to £360

Are you looking at the first year rate for new vehicles, beasty boy?  ::)

Or, perhaps, vehicles with a list price of more than £40,000 ?

Cars registered between 2001 and 2017 according to my vehicle its 276gm CO2 so yes after April its £600, so I will get 1 year at £340 as my renewal is in march, then after that it will be £600 I presume. As mine is a Y26SE 2002 vauxhall omega CD

A V6 omega is £340 on that table, don't know what you drive.

No, you are not checking against the K band for an Omega V6 (up to 2003) as from April 2022 when, as I quoted it will be £360 PA ;)

To clarify, vehicles with a higher g/km reading, but registered before March 2006, are placed in the K* Band. This is because it was argued at the time that somebody who purchased a vehicle with a higher g/km figure in 2004 for example, couldn't possibly have known that they were going to whack the road fund licence up two years later, hence it was not fair. Anyone that purchased a similar g/km vehicle registered after March 2006 would have/should have been aware of the higher tariff, so would end up paying the higher price.
K Band was created for this type of instance, including vehicles over 225g/km such as a V6 Omega, hence the * next to it.
Don't worry, you will not be paying £600.  :)  .... Well, not for the foreseeable at least.  :)

^^^ Exactly this ^^^


I'm sure the government will want to make a concerted effort to remove older, large engined petrols and diesels at some point in the future, as part of some ill informed reasoning about how its good for the environment, but that won't be for a while.

Yep...I'm tempted to write to the DVLC and ask if they will reconsider the taxation bracket for it.

You never know....... ;D

£100 PA seems fair for a 15 year old Vauxhall. :y

I seem to recall road tax being £25 a year for all cars regardless of engine capacity or pollution.

Perhaps I have that wrong though. I would have only been a nipper.

So you pay £18 for an evil contraption that belches out black smoke and I pay £52.50 each month (£630 PA) for an ultra-clean future classic. :( :(

Hardly fair, is it. :-X :)
