Tvr road tax

[Mick4271]

I’ve been reliably informed that labour are intending put the road tax up to £2297 per year for a 4.0 litre Tuscan, this is due to be implemented next year, has anyone heard the same thing.

[The Three D Mucketeer]

No

Gibberish, where did you get that from?

Was it someone at the DVLA?

I'd be interested to see the source?

[The Three D Mucketeer]

On what basis ??? TVRs never had any emissions measured so not very reliable

Obviously don't understand the PRIVATE or LIGHT GOODS VEHICLE classification or THE MINISTERS APPROVAL CERTIFICATE FOR SMALL VOLUME MANUFACTURE

Exactly, specific cars don't pay a unique rate of VED. It depends on a set of criteria, and most TVRs don't have any emissions data (some do, apparently and have to pay over £700) so are charged the LGV rate, currently £360 per year. Any massive rise would be paid by all LGV vehicles.

Perhaps somebody saw the estimated 1 year running costs.

[The Three D Mucketeer]

Any that do were incorrectly registered and their own fault for not sorting it out years ago if they were classified as PCs PETROL CARS !!!!

I've seen emissions data published in specs for the Cerbera in a few places for example. But like you say, shouldn't have made it onto the V5c.

My Tuscan is even ULEZ compliant

Are we back on this again? Or is this a wind up and a whoosh?

Had it all over the internet with the tax changes for this financial year, with loads of people not reading the announcement properly but jumping straight on to Facebook.

[The Three D Mucketeer]

That's why they should ban FACEBOOK for ADULTS and leave it for the children

[Mick4271]

I hope you’re all correct, owned my Tuscan for 20 years and god willing will hopefully have it for another 20 years.

[Geoff-Griff500]

Just received from the DVLA email and currently as above, £360 per year.

[Marnixvy]

Happy 4.0 l. drivers in the UK, In Belgium 4.300,00€ roadtax per year

[Schmeeky]

Just had an E-mither through about my road tax for my Griff 500.

£196

[sixor8]

Is that rounding down or something?

It's £375 for 12 months; £206 for 6 months (10% loading) and £32.81 p.m. for 12 m by d/d. (5% extra)

I suppose it's 6 months paying by d/d? 187.5 x 1.05 = £196.88.

Surely every good PHer buys the lot up front and gets money back when it's SORN in winter? Can't bear paying extra to the man,

£360 before 1st April 2026 , £375 after 1st April

[sixor8]

He said he's 'just had' it so it should be the latter or a percentage of.

Schmeeky's profile doesn't list a Griff in his garage, although there's a picture of one, unless it's a late SE, as a post April 2001 car would be £360 as an LGV.

No , both my TVRs are post April 2001 , one was tax'ed in March this year at £360 and the other in April at £375 .... Budget increase

Actually, I think that might be 6 monthly. It would make sense.
I'll have to update my garage, had my Griff for a year and a half now..
