CAR TAX

[Doctor Gollum]

The Alabama Mumsybus is in the £600 bracket too...

[Rangie]

My Signum actually is £600.

. 


Same as the Range Rover.

At least you get value for money from your £600 Mick! 

Lord Opti with his mediocre Signum with an identity crisis however....   

What is a Signum?  An estate? Hatchback? Something in between?

A rarity 😅

You're definitely underselling it...

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

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.

......I like to believe it is a unique creation wholly unrelated to the dreary uninspired Vectra and therefore a classic in waiting.

I'm probably deluded though.

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

You never know.......

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

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

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.

My lads VRS estate is still only £30 a year. I wonder if he pays in instalments.

I do on the wife's diesel astra, £2 odd a month

Mine is c.£18 a month, so it rounds it up nicely to about twenty quid.
