What about a UK car on a previously NI plate?

[Omega man 2]

How much is it to tax a mig over there? Since last June any mig registered costs 2000 euro anualy

What for road tax Thats about £2000 anyway, I think, every year, surly not.............. :question

Yup 2000 anualy for any mig registered since June (for the enviroment )

 Registered mine in Febuary. 8-)

So you have to pay 2000 euro every year for road tax, how the heck is that afordable??

I don't. Mine was registered befor the law came in so I ony pay 500 anually. 8-) But it means I wont be buying any more in the UK, the ones for sale here are all sh1te

Isnt there some way you could register it in Northern Ireland and then pay uk rates. :-/

Unfortunalty not. The customs go around and check UK registered cars. Lots of people have done that and now the coppers have gotten wise to it

So, how much is the average family car to tax each year, just out of interest.... :question

It goes on emissions. Tax is now a marketable thing for dealers. An ad on the telly for a 1.2 hyundai is 120 anually. A prius is 49ish.
The mig is in the highest group.

Large engined cars are just not popular here and so are legislated out of existance . The average you'll see in trafic is a 1.4-1.8.

V6's are rare never mind v8's

Believe me i've tried to think of everything.

The only option to get a bigger engined car without the tax is do an engine swap as the car will still be registered before this system.

I'd declare the insurance. It just wouldn't be eligible for tne new tax.

Quick bit of maths (based on googled figures):

26,000,000 cars on UK roads

2 x SEATs at about £8k ea - £16k

total cost per car driver: 0.006p.

 

I see what you are saying, but in theory still not thinking its something they should be doing.

Its like the commision paid to the post office for a tax disc is saved when doing it online, but they still charge £2.50 for a card transaction.

No charge for a debit card transaction.

AHHH! That's something else entirely - the effing public sector. £2.50 to process a card transaction that is simpler and cheaper to deal with than handling a cheque or cash?  

Maybe so.  But the saving from the post office commision to do it manually should cover that £2.50 and I bet they are still making money.

I think that last time I used my debit card.
I don't remember a £2.50 charge on that one.
