[Rudpud]

The new Nissan GT-R's are £750 a year! Apparently, according to my dad who see the tax disc in one.

[Dunn]

So does that mean its gonna be £245 for the phase 1 vts aswell ???

So crazy how they screw you and we drive on shit roads

[Dunn]

Good website that, just checked mine

£205 for 12 months still way to much tho

[Bedford126]

it takes the piss all cars use the same amount of road and same amount of wear on the tarmac and yet we get taxed on emission's takes this piss in this country rather rape you than fix the roads.

[devilsadvocate]

Anything registered post March 2001 is subject to tax depending on emissions

Anything before this date is done using engine size

Bentley's are literally in the £1000s to tax. Suppose that's nothing if you owned a Bentley though..

My dad derv Phaeton is over £500 which is a joke.

[cloke]

According to parkers, my tax would be cheaper if my car was a year newer! WTF! It's the same car!!

[Rudpud]

My dad derv Phaeton is over £500 which is a joke.

Really? Thats mad for a derv :/ I thought they're supposed to be cheaper?

[CampDavid]

Nothing costs over £500 a year to tax. The high numbers are the so called "show room tax" or first year tax, the rate the car pays in it's first year. After that the tax goes down. The maximum yearly tax is just over £400

[Barry123]

we (> 2002 vts owners) pay the same as porshces of similar vintage.

gutted :(

[piranhamatt]

30 a year for my sister 1.4 206 hdi

[DannyVTS]

saxp start the hate.

I'd rather pay my tax and not be disabled

All cars pre 2001 and bigger or equal to 1.6 engine pay the same tax, all engines smaller pay the same.

So Gibbo, your e36 is the same as a Saxo VTR. As it is a VTS, and a V8 Jag, etc etc

It's unfair, so they changed it in 2001.

[LeeM]

12 months on my Corsa is a similar price to 6 months on the Saxo.

[Liam]

My 2001 VTS is £135 for 6 months. Was rather unimpressed.

[DannyVTS]

12 months on my Corsa is a similar price to 6 months on the Saxo.

My corsa was a lot more expensive than the Saxo.

Corsa was like £245, I think it's in the same tax bracket as the VTS :\

[LeeM]

Mines a 2004 1.4 Sri so that's based on emissions and the Saxo is pre 2001 so it's just 1.6 or above

[MiniGibbo]

Not too many years now and minell be free on the car :cool:

[Bedford126]

my gf's new clio dci is £30 a year and 125 to insure it lol. Iam seriously thinking about one just to give the 2 fingers to the tax man.

[MiniGibbo]

What I want to know is when we "all"'have these cheap road tax cars what's going to replace the cash they'll be loosing???

its the government they don't think about that sort of thing until its too late.
they will end up taking it out of something vital like the NHS or telling the kids at school they have to pay to learn how to count.

[DundeeUnited]

LOL my BMW is only 215 and I thaught that was a rip off!!

same as my dads mate hes got a beemer, thought that wouldve been more than a vts tbh :detective:

[jonathon5]

Don't know what you are all moaning about ?

Car tax is cheaper now in relative terms than it used to be.

Look at this photo I took the the other day from an escort, the tax disc expired 22 years ago cost £55 for 6 months

http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff121/jonathon-rensport/426f7e78.jpg

There was only 1 tax rate

[beckha]

My Civic is 245 a year to tax.

Rip off aint it...

We all use the same roads but we pay on emissions? I thought it was called *road* tax

I dont mind paying to keep the roads sorted/maintained etc but thier are still hundreds of potholes around my area from the winter snow/frost and some are HUGE ! But its all about the money for the government

Road tax isnt for the roads.

It all goes into the pot and most pays for stuff noone uses or benefits only cunts receive.

[RustySkull]

[NICK2506]

[MiniGibbo]

[devilsadvocate]

http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/OwningAVehicle/HowToTaxYourVehicle/DG_10012524

[MiniGibbo]

Ijoke worth it for that engine alone!

Its a 10 reg so you have to pay a "first year rate". And its a diesel so its a rip off lol.
