C20xe car tax price ?

[Maddukeman]

Wife is taxing car tomorrow hopefully anyone no how much ?

[marc69]

I think it is about 240, slight rip off, I also pay 140 for a standard Nova, I can only drive one at a time and only did 5,000 miles between them both last year with nearly 400 just for road tax. Moan over.

[Maddukeman]

Think I'll be getting some more earache tomorrow, aslong as she don't have a baby over it ! Cheers :thumb:

£230 for 12 months, £126.50 for 6 months. Assuming its logged as a 2.0


[edit] dunno where the hell I got £145 from lol

[8valve-craig]

Taxed a 2005 vehicle yesterday for 12 months at £220. Post Office advised me not to wait as the prices go up today.

Pre 2001 should only go up £5 though, regardless of what the price is on your renewal.

[Maddukeman]

She got my tax, 126.50 :)

Car tax is a total ripp off... We see nothing for it imo, and the hole emissions based thing is bollocks..
plus there's thousands of ppl who don't pay it..

[bazzap8389]

^ agreed it's total bollocks and the 'clean' cars don't have to pay a penny it's pish

1.2 on the logbook yo...tax is a fooking joke lol

[jonn]

it is some joke over here, it costs 738 euro to tax my 1.8 astra bertone for 12 months. so about 600 sterling and i am pretty sure we have the worst roads in europe at this stage! potholes everywhere. imo there should be no annual road tax and it is added to the fuel.

**** me! Seriously....
My mk4 1.8 is £280 for 12 months due to the emissions rubish, if it wasn't a 51 plate and a 2000 rege would be about £40 cheaper.. But yours is mental!..

[jonn]

i agree its a pure joke, out of interest what is the price roughly for a liter of petrol?

[Jack]

126.9 here in Bristol for supermarket 95 ron. Putting VED onto petrol would probably add around 10-20p per litre I'd guess, based on average figures of 10k a year, 30mpg.

It's daft doing it on emissions, someone with a 1.0 ecoboost fiesta zetec s that puts out 90g/km* and does the average 10,000 miles a year pays nothing where as my 270g/km GT4 that does 2500 miles a year pays £230 even though it puts out around 2/3 the CO2 of the fez each year...





*which is extremely debatable, as the two owners at work reckon they get 45mpg tops - so thats more like 150g/km, or £150 a year VED lol

[scott.parker]

Its about on average 130 for petrol and 140 for diesel around the midlands, and i too think all tax should be on fuel, the raod tax is to flawed imo as you just proved Jack.

[Stuart]

Road tax hasn't existed since the 30's lol
vehicle duty is a farce though.

basing it on emissions isn't flawed, the test to get the emissions is flawed.
i worked out a few years back that to chuck it on fuel would only add 3-5ppl assuming this was done after the existing taxes

[marc69]

Do you not think it is based on marketing and keepiing sales of new cars going, just like the ex scrappage scheme which ruined loads of great cars.

[Stuart]

The emissions thing was intended to make cars more economical, but at the same time its just an easy test to frig the right answer from(unless its gm, in which case they balls it up every time )

[chrisd1986]

According to Hobbit unless he was lieing to me so I would look stupid but he payes the lowest rate on his even tho its declared as a 3.2

[Jack]

He pays the same as I do, £230 a year
