Car Tax Question - BMW 225XE

[bunchofkeys]

Could someone confirm how much i should be paying on a MY2018 BMW 225XE please?

The car will be delivered to me on Friday, but looking at taxing it for a year and it's £510!
It's only a bit cheaper than my X5M My2016!

I would have thought it would be much cheaper.

List price new of over £40k means it's £510 / year for tax until it's 5 years old as I understand it.

I presume it gets the extra value VED applied for the first 6 years, was it over £40k list when new?

Put the reg in here and it will tell you if the extra charge applies:

If so, it'll not drop back to £165 (or the rate then) until 2024, I think.

ETA: It applies to all car registered after 01/04/2017.

Oh!

Is this the new car tax charge?
Additional Rate applicable until 30 June 2024

Yep, that's it. The list price limit has not moved since it was introduced in 2017.

That DVLA reg checker is a great resource for checking the actual recorded emissions for any particular vehicle.

Thank you, that would explain why i couldn't see it being applied to my 2016 car.

Ok, well that explains that, will just have to wait until 2024 for the expected rate.
Thanks again.
