mattbowey Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 i just bought mine yesterday and paid for a years tax, they told me 405 but then it went up to 435 the day they taxed it. a mate told me i could get it cheaper though maybe its an online discount Quote
Jay Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 I bloody hope not i just payed for my tax 2 days ago Quote
marzman Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 How much did you pay Jay? I renewed mine on the 30th... .£190 for 12 months. tbh 350newbie i would expect £245 for the year after april, as its not a 2006 car... you would be unlucky to be paying any more than that. Quote
Neilp Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 I paid almost 225 for 6 months. No point in taxing for 12 as I take it of the road for the winter. Quote
magic84 Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 as far as i know you should only pay £405 for 12 mnths if your car was 1st reg in 2006 onwards, Quote
Neilp Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 I'm sure that it works out at 405 if you buy the twelve months. If you buy six they pike to bum you a bit. Quote
Shaun1982 Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 I did mine on wednesday too, £225.75 for six months,i was expecting to get charged more when i went to the opst office with the tax going up but it stayed the same as the reminder Quote
TADDY Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 i did mine today the reminder said 118 for 6 months and 225 for 12months, when i went in today they charged me 134 for 6 months as things have gone up since i recieved my reminder and it would of been 255 for 12 months. Quote
350newbie Posted April 3, 2010 Author Posted April 3, 2010 Mine deffo should be the higher bracket as it was registered after the 2006 date... odd that people are getting different prices!! It said in RED that prices may have changed since my V11 was issued but the price quoted on the website & phone was the phone I should be paying even if I go into the post office Weird... Quote
marzman Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 Yeh i find it really odd that everyone is paying different prices here?? Quote
greasemonkey1234 Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 I orginally taxed it in Jan and it was £405, but then brought a bagner for winter driving, so put it on a SORN. I retaxed it yesterday and now it was £245 for 12 months. Quote

BladesGrant Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Pretty sure I only paid £195 for 12 months on my 53 JDM. Quote
Chesterfield Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Its because as per usual a public body hasnt got a clue what they are doing, and the people in charge of the vehicle excise duty have even less of a clue about cars. They have made either a **** up on the emissions or the first date of registration which is what dictates how much you pay. Quote
nixy Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 This has been covered tonnes on here! Some JDM's that have been first registered in the UK after 2006 have been treated differently and logged as PLG which means that you're emmissions don't seem to be counted. Therfore its very cheap........... http://www.taxdisc.direct.gov.uk/EvlPor ... le+Enquiry if you put your details in there it tells you, your liability and if you *cough* put someone else's in it tells you theirs..........

narcotix Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 I've read previous threads about the differences between tax charges on zeds etc based on year of registration ... I just dont understand how the tax can drop for the same zed a year later ... Quote
nixy Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 No, me neither.........that IS odd if i've read it correctly at the start. Quote
greasemonkey1234 Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 http://forum.s15oc.com/showthread.php?6 ... -confirmed Here are some owners of s15 who have had a drop in tax from £405 to £245 Explained quite well on the AA website http://www.theaa.com/motoring_advice/ca ... adtax.html Quote
narcotix Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 That is strange ... I've never heard of the tax going down ever Still if it is infact true .. you should count yourself lucky as there are lots of members who are still paying the full whack .. I've got an 04 Zed so my tax is £245 too ... Quote
nixy Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Right, the way i read that, all the JDM imports that are manufactured prior to 2006 but were registered in the UK AFTER 2006 and therefore got stung for high tax should be taxed according to the year of manufacture from now on, the same as a UK zed. This is good news for the likes of Jay for one and maybe lots of others! Great news! Quote
narcotix Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Oh ok .. that is good news for some people! Who'd have thought that the Dvla might actually get it right sometimes ... Quote
nixy Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 i know but now i can't feel smug anymore for getting away with it! Quote
narcotix Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 i know but now i can't feel smug anymore for getting away with it! I guess you'll have to find something else to be smug about then ... Quote
Harman350z Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 So finally i will get half price tax I hope so.. Quote
