High Rate Road Tax
Discussion
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?

Tax it from 1st June. Before that, you'll be paying a full month for the last few days of this month.
If you don't pick it up / tax it until 1st July, your yearly rate will be less as the June 24 month will be at the standard rate, and it seems that is something the DVLA computer can cope with.

Looks like a good purchase - well specced. Approved used from Sytner maidenhead.
Your 'luxury tax' would end 31st May 2024.

EVs are included
no they are exempt until April 2025.So anyone planning to buy a £41k+ EV (which let's face it is what most of
the half decent ones cost these days!) needs to purchase it by March 31st
2025 at the latest to save themselves over £2500 in 'supplemental' VED...
