More road tax...

[franv8]

Had to renew the road tax on my pretty much stock MX5 (it's a 1.6) and was pleased that it had gone up since the form was printed, AND that since I hadn't brought my renewal form, I couldn't have any of this new premium rate round paper until I went home and got it (had insurance and MOT on me)

Can't believe they charge me more for it and make it harder for me to get it.

Anyway, rant over, was confoosed by the new tax rules/bigger engined cars, for clarity, for those of us with motors registered prior to March 1st 2001...

12 months rate £ 6 months rate £

Not over 1549cc 110.00 60.50
Over 1549cc 175.00 96.25

Typical that both my cars are above 1549cc.

Just renewed the Vette on-line. Reminder received at £165.00 pre budget. Had to pay £190 post budget.

Could be worse. You might have had a Renault Espace...

...you'd have paid £20 more for, er, slighlty less driver enjoyment...
