New Ved Rates, Excellent news for pre march 2006!

[Trev-the-Rev]

Any one thinking of buying a brand new Z in 2010 should consider this:

First years tax £940. But this if only for the first year of its life.

Another reason not to buy new again when you add this to the horrendous depreciation.

Sorry if this is a repost, only just read this elsewhere! Brilliant news for me! But if it's not a repost then I wonder why nobody else haven't pinned this yet?

 

Z registered before 23 March 06:

 

Tax starting from-

1st April 2009 to 1st March 2010 - £215

1st April 2010 to 1st March 2011 - £245

 

 

Z registered on or after 23 March 06:

 

Tax starting from-

1st April 2009 to 1st March 2010 - £405

1st April 2010 to 1st March 2011 - £435

 

Let's hope it stays at these rates!

Sorry if this is a daft question but does it mean say for example a 2003 zed imported in 2007 would pay the £400+ tax or does it go buy the reg?

Yes if the car was imported after 23rd march 2006 then you would pay the higher rate

[chris84]

mint mine is due and i fall just into the pre march 2006 band so £235 for me

[rtbiscuit]

i think i said it before but i am 10 days out, talk about a bollox situation

 

i hope they follow their original plan which is all cars after 2001 which would bring the rest of you in line with me

Nope. '03 JDM imported June '09. Just paid £190 for the year.

Really wish I hadn't seen this thread, mine's up on the 31st march, get in there quick, paying £435 is gonna hurt, like £400 didn't hurt enough

It's generally correct, but a few slip though the net depending on the class they were registered under i think.

[captain]

That's right. Mine registered as a PLG.

[shieldsie]

My way of thinking is, my new Scorpion exhaust that is waiting for me to collect, just cost me £75, what a bargain.

[Mikewales]

Just been flicking through the Top Gear buyers directory and in there its stated that tax bands are being backdated to 2001; quoted from the magazine, page 7 "Don't forget, the Government will be increasing road tax from April 2010 and backdating it to cars registered after 2001".

 

Can anyone confirm this? Bad news if its true!

I hope not

 

but it's probably going to happen sooner or later ...

 

I've just checked the Direct Gov site and it looks like we're alright for the now ... see link below:

[marzman]

But it looks like pre 06 cars will be going up to 245 though

That's not too bad compared to the £400+ it would have been ....

 

I used to pay £215 on my FTO a few years ago ... so £245 for the zed seems quite fair to me ...

 

[Ardesco]

As a 54 plate owner whose car came into this country in 2007 and has to pay the higher rate i'm even more pi**ed off now

This info is out of date now and the higher rate on imports doesnt apply as of April this year..........(again........)

[Vertakill]

Reading this makes me ill lol...

 

Over here (Ireland), its 1550 euro per year. That's approx 1200/1300 gbp. :/

 

So, be thankful!
