Default road tax price

Bit of a silly question, 12months on an rst is how much?

I think I've been overcharged, paid £205 online?

Yes that price is right (It's pre March 2001 and above 1549 CC) as you say it was £185 then £190 and now a £15 increase!!

Yes we have whats known as no claims bonus over here (NCB) so every year you don't make a claim, you get a reduction off your premium at next renewal.

Okay.. Here we have bonus system. I have -55% bonus because 10 years of accident free driving so far Rs turbo insurance is based to normal 1.6 mk4 escort so it is something like 400€ /year (i think 320£) -55% and then you can take optional crash,fire etc insurance. Tax is 70-75€ / year. Road tax is based to vehicle total weight. 2001 onwards road tax depends your car co2 emissions. My BMW 325i E46 2003 road tax is 185€ / year 204 g co2.
