Tax disc rate...

[Ratten]

I remember seeing some discussinos under the Tuscan forum about this and someone getting th 180 quid rate rather than two hundred and something.

I've never seen an official Co2 rating for the cerb so what's the score? Would hate the bastards to get more out of me than strictly necessary

Just paid £95 for 6 months for mine, so yearly must be the £180.

Mine was £180

[WIL35]

Don't the CO2 bands only affect cars registered after a certain date?

[G1ABB]

Cerbs are definately £180. something to do with being out of production - unfortunately... (out of production that is).

Cars before March 2001 are classed on engine size.

Not over 1549cc - £115 & £63.25
Over 1549 - £180 & £99

Newer TVR's do not have to pay the full rate as there exempt due to the fact they are built in limited numbers.

Result....that will surely annoy my workmate who has to pay over 200 quid for a Saab....

[Ireland]

I almost cry every time this topic comes up on here.

200 quid.

I'd love if I could get away with paying anything even remotely close to 200 quid for the road tax on mine.

Criminal.


Rant over.

Buggeration. You could get blown for that.

[DonnyMac]

Taxed mine yesterday - £180

Also taxed the 3lV6 4x4 Lex yesterday, £112 for six months; the lex does dire miles to the gallon, but the Cerb is worse, much worse. How it made me smile paying more for the Jap-box kiddy carrier.

If only the tree huggers knew.

Car tax is based on a graduated VED scheme from which TVR are exempt.

It's always my favourite topic of conversation at my local post office ... normally along the lines of:

PO: You car has been registered incorrectly with the DVLA.
Me: No it hasn't.
PO: Yes it has. Your tax class should be PC or DC. Is it a diesel?
Me: No.
PO: Is it a van?
Me: No.
PO: But if it has 2 seats and a 4 litre engine it must be a van.
Me: <roll eyes, and explain graudated VED scheme to post office official>
PO: But it must be a van then. Who are TVR? I'll have to charge you £180.
Me: That's fine.
PO: And you need to contact the DVLA to get that corrected.
Me: OK

I audit new car registrations and tax discs as part of my job.
I now renew my car tax on-line.

Well poke me with a spikey truncheon, that's bonkers!
Mind you, pensioners get a better deal in Potatoland. Shame you'll be too croaked to get in out of the Cerb by then. (Start saving for the old Massey Fergusson Twackter)

They do save on fuel duty, income tax and corporation tax too, so it's not quite as bad as he makes out...

ridiculously unfair system, isnt it, basing the tax on ccs

then again, havent you seen the whole host of loopholes in there?

hearse eur78 (a bit of conversion work on the helmet hole required)

taxi eur72

vehicles which are used exclusively for mountain and cave rescue purposes: exempt from tax

(i.e. you pay the company registration fee to create a private mountain rescue company, and if ever queried, the reason you're speeding is youre on your way up the wicklow mountains to rescue (your friend who is a signed up member for your service) who'se stuck up the wicklow mountains in a pub and needs rescuing

ambulance: exempt from tax

doesnt specify it has to be a state owned one, again, private ambulance, first aid kit inside helps the case here haha
