High Rate Road Tax

[Danm1les]

Hoping someone will be able to help, I have never purchased a car before that has fallen into the newer rules of car tax, over £40k and there is a £500ish surcharge.

The car was registered 08/06/2018, if the car is not taxed for a couple of weeks, can the higher rate of tax be avoided? Or if I tax it monthly will I pay 1 month of higher tax and it will go back down again?

I haven't understood it at all! Ah ok, thats it fine.

I didn't want to pay a years worth of the higher rate when it is about to end

Looks like a good purchase - well specced. Approved used from Sytner maidenhead.

Your 'luxury tax' would end 31st May 2024.

Thanks!

How did you check that from the reg?
