hi guys, i´m hearing some contrasting stories about road tax, does anyone know what i´d pay on a 2004 st220 if i was to tax it as of now?

i´m hearing stuff about it being low tax band or the law not chaging yet..........ect but from what i can see, i´m looking at over 400 quid which is a complete piss take! its the same as my fully comp insurance!!!

 

i have just read something about new fee´s only applying if the car is registered accoring to co2 imissions on the v5 doc. so is it possible some post 2001 cars can still escape the new tax laws?

 

in a word, no.

the only exception to the rule is cars registered between 01 and 04, which are capped at band f / £244. So an 03/53 will be ok, 04 is likely to fall into the £400+ top band....

think that bad try paying the guts of a grand to tax one over here

 

Fcuk that i'd move

 

:O!! I hope you have good roads after paying that much tax!

 

is it possible the cap on cars 01-04 will include cars reg. before april 04? therefor meaning a car reg. feb. 04 for example would qualify for the lower tax band?

 

I would have thought if you enter the Reg Number on the DVLA site it will tell you how much it will cost to tax it

just enter reg and model and will tell you current tax costs.

 

had the discussion on a mondy forum i help run a few weeks back. one lad pays around £225 a year, his is 03 plate 220, another lad, who has a 05 plate 220, pays over £400 a year. its an absolute pisstake seeing as there EXACTALLY the same car. IIRC, the 'supertax' on 220's comes into play if the car was registered after a certain month in 05.

 

how does this affect the Focus RS

from what i understood, all cars 2001-2006 where still being taxed according to their band (A-F) and it was only post 2006 cars that were being affected?

 

Actually ginge, it may have been an 06 plate 220 come to think of it, not 05, ill dig up the thread and have a butchers.

 

Reet, just checked the thread on SMF, the supertax comes into affect on 220's registered after March 23rd 2006

£225 for 6 months

£405 for a year

 

thought as much

supertax on new band M cars is £950 for the year!!!!

 

Fuck that

 

thanks fiddy + snoopy, all a great help, i´m in the process of buying an 04 220 and started to get a tad worried when i heard abou this super tax stuff, i´ve been out the country 10yrs so bit behind on it all.

cheers
