Chesterfield Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 Anyone else waiting with baited breath to see what is in store for our "gas guzzling" motors in Mr Browns budget? Apparently £200 road tax for anything over 250g/km CO2 emmissions - so us with our 280g/km are in the firing line... Why they dont take into account mileage I do not know. Quote
Derek_ZR Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 Just read that a little while ago and tried to renew my tax online. As my insurance also runs out on 31/3/06 it won't let me renew Just gone and renewed my insurance but that will take time to update the motor insurance database. If it goes up I won't be happy. Quote
Kuro Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 great Ah well, only £35 more a year than now IIRC? Quote
Goochie Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 I've read on another car forum that it applies to cars registered AFTER today only. Quote
Guest prescience Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 I don't think so; since GB says 50% of all cars will have same duty from tomorrow. £35 eh ... now I know what I saved it for Quote
Removed Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 jeeeesus it's a big hit isn't it? nealry 25% rise ffs :dry::dry: Quote
Derek_ZR Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 All this in a year when my pay has been frozen until October 2008 Quote
350Znismo Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 I can think how some Zed owners can save £30 per year and offset the tax rise. Join us It's Free Quote
neo Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 £210 http://www.myfinances.co.uk/news/tax/ro ... 340020.htm Quote
davegti Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 I'm kind of bothered that its £210 and but then again if greenpeace got what they wanted it would have been £600+ But even Browns not so stupid as to put it up by that amount so a reasonable increase will keep more money coming in and not really deter people from buying such un-economical machines Still we could always organise the best sounding/looking roadblock ever Quote
Derek_ZR Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 I'm already going to be £2k down with my wage freeze over 2 years and with ever increasing petrol, road tax increases and home fuel going through the roof I would be as well jumping off a bridge Quote
M13KYF Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 £210 is for cars registered after today. Otherwise it's £190.00 Quote
Jacko Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 £210 is for cars registered after today. Otherwise it's £190.00 Mike, So probably being thick here, but why is it "only" £190 for cars registered before today if they have the same CO2 emissions? Quote
nikos Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 I can see RFL going the same way as petrol - petrol is now so high in price due to tax that they darent put any more duty on it for fear of civil war, well, being booted out at the next election Quote
