shows it all, the important statement for us is :

* Band K includes cars that have a CO2 figure over 225g/km but were registered before 23 March 2006

as that limits what the newer omega's (post march 2001) have to pay.
without that they would be band M and come in at £460!  :o


and if you could buy a new omega today, its first year roadtax would be £1000! dropping to just £460 thereafter!
