Chris`I Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 I received mine for £210. £210? how? Mines £220 for 6 months and £400 for 12! Cheeky scumbag imports thats how! My mates Evo gets taxed like that, even worse, he gets it taxed as a 2l (not even turbo) so it costs him half what I have to pay Quote

IanS16 Posted August 11, 2008 Author Posted August 11, 2008 Hold on.. we're paying the same road tax as a Hummer?! WTF? Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Yep top band, and it's going up again next year Quote
martinmac Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Be fair guys, someone has to pay for all the rough dressing of my local roads Quote
Chris`I Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Excuse me, mine is a UK car from new! Sorry bud, but then how the hell did you get it cheaper? I thought the only way to pay less tax was on imports that were classified as light goods vehicals or whatever it is? Ian: looks like you got unlucky and they classified your car correctly and charge you the "right" amount of tax. Some imports come in as light goods vehicals and get lighter tax because of it Quote

No idea, but I'll take it since they've just adjusted my tax code, again! Quote
IanS16 Posted August 11, 2008 Author Posted August 11, 2008 I think i'll take my car for a spin as it has no front tyres at the min.. get my moneys worth in ROAD tax then! Quote
Sarnie Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 The tax based on when the car was registered in the uk? An 02 import may not of been brought to this country till after the cut off date which is around March 2006 i think. Therefore uk 04 cars registered in 04 will qualify for the lower tax. I'm here all week. Quote
Sarnie Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 The tax based on when the car was registered in the uk isn't it?

I'm here all week. Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 I'm here all week. Well if you keep double posting we want have time to read them all Quote
nixy Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 I think with imports its more to do with whether or not the local DVLA office know what they are doing and if they know what the hell a fairlady is! In some cases the emmissions are listed as zero (in other words they don't know), the car is classified PLG and the tax is therefore ***cough*** £185 If you go to the DVLA tax your vehicle on line page you can do a vehicle check to see the tax liability. (and you can do that on anybody's car if you know the reg and make) Quote

nixy Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 mine was bought over in June 07 and its 185 quid. Quote
Sarnie Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 mine was bought over in June 07 and its 185 quid. Isn't that because yours is incorrectly listed as a PLG? Quote
Sarnie Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 yep. Not very helpful to others who's cars are correctly listed then. Quote
