I thought you meant they were going to tax people who rape someone, thought it was another of these "stealth tax" things labour are so good at.

C4llyT

Good idea Chip, only 5% result in convictions, so plenty of money to be had.

jonesy_23

53 plate. there gonna shaft me! i can just feel it.

C4llyT

Pre 06 so won't go up much at all.

not bad then thank god!!!!

There goes another rib....

the big hike comes in 2009, and another slight one in 2010, so anyone whose had tax renewals this year is irrelevant.

i think its still undecided if cars between 2001-2006 get the new tax bands isnt it?

I hope not, as I like my Leon being £120!

I've seen quite a few luxury cars suddenly spring up for sale locally.
Owning anything built after 2001 seems to suddenly be a very bad move.

Still, all the cossie/RST/etc.. owners must be laughing their bottoms off.

i just checked on dvla site & for cars reg b4 23/3/06 with over 180 emmisions comes under the band f which is £115 6mnths & £210. thnak god cos £400 a yera is an arse rapeing

The new laws apply to all cars registered after march 1st 2001, the new prices dont come into play untill april 09, for a focus rs after that it will be £300 a year untill march 2010 when it will rise to £430 a year, all of that according to the parkers guide tax calculator.

like i said before, current tax prices (this year) arent to worry about. the new tax bands come in, in april of 2009. so looking on the DVLA site is irrelevant

this is when all the post 2001 cars will get hit hard (apart from low emissions cars).

there is a chance that cars between 2001-2006 wont be hit as hard as post 2006 cars.

its been all over the motoring press, i'm surprised how few people know this.

percybigun

that parkers tax-calculator thing has changed its tax prices on alot of cars a few times since it was launched a few months ago, so i wouldnt give much credibility to it TBH.

government still aint decided on 2001-2006 cars according to this:

Fiddy

Fingers crossed then fella, cos mine is group G and is £415 a year from next year according to the new pricing.

percybigun

unlucky mate. its a shame ford didnt make the emissions better on the v6, given that they didnt ring much power out of it (apart from the st220 version)

i'm just hoping the pre-2001 motors stay safe.

some unlucky soul over on the meg forums has got a st200 registered in the first week of april 2001, so he JUST missed being on the pre-march 2001 thing

Indeed!!!!

i think the tax free classic class should be extended form pre jan 1973 to pre october '84

Thats a great idea,

You'll be ok Dan, apparently he is going to be taxing per inch

C4llyT

I'd prefer to believe the govt site which says different tbh.

Fiddy

Yeah, the emissions are pretty bad to be fair, 242g/km for the 2.5. got to feel for the guy on meg, id be wounded missing it by that much.

Fiddy

I agree with you bud, its the govt that set the prices, so they should be correct. i phoned DVLA about my car, asked them about the new pricing, gave them my reg, and they said mine is going to be £400+ from next year, which is what the parkers guide says, but it was a couple of months ago when i phoned, and they did say that wasn't set in stone as they hadn't had confirmation from the govt.

C4llyT

Ah right.
Maybe first step in the backing down of it all then.
If govt site isn't correct and upto date that's a bit sad!
