Title: Omega Road Tax
Post by: Rock on 27 September 2006, 08:33:57
Can someone please help me and let me know how much the road tax will be on my 2001 Omega CD 2.6?

I haven't picked it up yet so don't have the paperwork yet.

Yep, it just went up, that's why i only bought six months at £96.25, and cos i'm Scottish.  ;)

Thanks Guys.

It sounded like such a stupid question when i wrote it but with the new tax laws on the CO2 emissions etc. and I couldn't find listed anywhere what the CO2 emissions were for this Omega.

I'm reliably informed its on the new log book but that doesn't help when I haven't got it yet.

Anyway, thanks for the help, and Kev i'm not Scottish but 6 months will do me for now too!!

I'm not 100% sure but i think that the new mega high rates are only applied to new registered cars, so we should be ok for a while anyway.  ::)

Thats disgraceful!

All uk cars registered before 2001 over 1600cc pay the same level of road fund license - loads , but not as much as Mr Des!

Isn't the fuel quite a bit cheaper over there? Not sure if I'd save £700 a year though!

Interesting... so if you have more than one wife you have to tax them?

First point - I thought you couldn't marry more than one wife anyway?  :o

Second point - even if you could, why would you want to?  ;D

Third point - let's say you had to, £190 for 12mths sounds like a cracking deal to me - they are usually much much more expensive.  >:(

Wife's MG obviously puts out mre CO2 :(

Its also based on age mate.... pre 2001 cars are not affect by emmisons.

Hence my 2000 X plate 2.2 megga costs 175 a year to tax, my dads 2.2 megga on a 2001 Y plate is 190 a year to tax.... >:(

Hi, you must remember that the nice people at the DVLA will let you tax your car on line now, so you don't have to stand in a queue at the post office, but be warned they charge you £2 for the privlege! So not only do they not have to pay commision to Post Office Counters, but they get extra money off you as well. I hope they don't do me any more favours, I can't afford it!

Same as mine £190  >:( , tho i think i can get a fiver (or is it a tenner) off (tho prolly wont bother just the sake of a fiver/tenner)
My veccies are £115
My merc diesel is £175

Its crazy i think, that my meega is more expensive than my merc considering its running on lpg most of the time  >:(
Only way to get a lpg conversion recognised by the dvla is have it done at a Government approved installer. Also the only way to get London congestion charge exempt as well.

You must see a considerable saving in just fuel alone though. Is it really worth the extra for the install to save some on tax?  :-/

TBH i dont know if government approved installers charge more.....suspect they probably do tho.....i didnt investigate that option as when i had my meega done these tax rules didnt exist.....only the conjestion charging did....and i decided that it wasnt worth it.....for me anyway.

Not sure why, but my 2001 CD 2.6 was £104.50 for 6 months! I think it just comes into the newer pricing structure.
