just renewed the tax on the FSTI and last year this was £405 so I was suitably braced for a large bill. Imagine my delight when the lady in the post office said that it was only £245 for a year - the budget has worked out nicely for me this time!

Now... what to spend the £160 saving on...

Nope it won't be...well it shouldn't be anyways.

Dammit...........

Dammit...........

It goes on when the car was first registered in the UK...rather than when it was manufactured/registered in Japan unfortunately. Typical thieving UK government twisting the rules to get more tax.
:mob:

Being registered before 23rd of March 2006 is the magic date where the old 'greater than 225' ones get the new band K.

Mine was 17th of May :icon_mad:

How come it reduced?!

I'm really not sure why it reduced to be honest. My car fell into the 'registered at the wrong time' bracket - it was registered in 2007. 6 months ago I even emailed the DVLA about why this is the case.

However the facts are: last year was over £400... this year £245.

I left the post office as fast as my feet would carry me!

As would I :woohoo:

 

[twade76]

you do realise that an MP has just had to clean his own moat don't you?

I think you should go back to that post office and force them to take the £160 back before any others are affected.

The tax law changed recently. Was told by max at car planet when I put deposit down on my most recent one. Something to do with imported cars now registered as LPG. Good news!!

Mine is an 05 2 litre XT.

I thought £400 plus was the going rate?

I've looked at the Car Tax on line.

What will mine be then????

Cheers.


Kind regards

If it's an import I would assume it would be the same. I was very pleased when I found out.

As usual Don,

a fountain of information>>>>>:biggrin:


Cheers,

Not as bad as I thought.:huh::huh::huh:

However, 08 £190, 09 £205, 10 £215, 11 £254, so 08 + 8%, 09 + 5%, 10 +5%,
11 +14%. or + 29% in 3 years.

The roads are rubbish, potholes, greed cameras, etc.

And to think "The One Eyed Porridge Gobbler" could get in for another 5 years.

Frigging disgraceful:icon_eek::icon_eek:

According to the DVLA website mine should be £245.00:woohoo: i'm in shock, if you go to the vehicle enquiry section and type in your reg it will tell your tax renewal price.
