car tax

[grantley1988]

justa little question. me and tynan_ftw_tbh tax renewal forms came through the other day and im a little confused????
his tax is 77 for 6 months and 140 for the year, wheras mind is 99 for six and 180 for the year. we both have vtr's. so why is this?
the only thing i can think of is the fact mine is 2000 and his is 52reg. ie my car has(had:P) the cat under the car wheras his is in the manifold

[saxowebby]

newer and older. the newer ones give ouyt less c02 emissions.

i had the same thing on my two saxos

[MikeCracknell]

They give out the same emissions, one is pre March 2001, which is the date they change the rates

[b0t13]

vts is gonna cost £300 next year... wonderful. NOT!

[kylie]

my furio 77 quid for 6 months.

[AdamH]

what 300 quid for a vts? surely thats wrong.. 180 a year is to much imo

[Mikey]

140 for 6 months on my baby

[VTR_Craig]

Anyway the government can screw you out of your hard earned cash they will.

whats the other option? you either pay up or get fined or not drive the car

[VTR_Nick]

it's because in 2001 they change the way they decide how much you pay. it changed from engine size (i think) to co2 emissons)

[AdamH]

im pretty sure cracknell said somthing about 2001 onwards its more expensive then before 2001.. but not 300... thats over kill

[weetz]

Some cars built before 1973 can have free tax (historic car tax).

I bet they pump out more co2 than any Saxo.

[moxy89]

mine little 1.1 saxo is £115 for a year lol

[scottyvtr]

jul2vtr's sax is £77 and my freelander is £115 both six months !!

lol my '82 escort XR3 was £128 for the year 1.6ltr !!!

[L2NRM]

cant beat mine 112£ a year 185bhp

[b0t13]

yep its £300 from 2009, because the vts has a co2 of 201g which is ALOT for a 1.6 whereas the clio sport is less :@

[aran2k2]

my 2000 vts came thru at £99 for 6 months or £180 for the year lol wheres the £300 cum from?? my mates o2 vts is £112 for 6months or £ 205 for the year.

[b0t13]
