Road fund /tax for vehicles after march01

[Thomas-the-Terrano2]

originally thought everything y reg and 51 onwards being taxed on emmisions.

have been on parkers handy for trade in prices and to a degree road tax.

now saying that 03/01 to 03/06 are not going up, or as much as thought before.

looking at an 03 patrol, it gives out 288g/km.

its down as an F band and taxed upto april this year £210, but taxed after
this april is band K and £215, then K again from 04/10 £245.

Seems at 288g/km, then as over 255 would be £405 / year but mention this
had been deferred presume the £215 + £245 above. Is there any idea what
happens after april 2011, seems unjust that could buy an older x reg with
same engine and emissions and miss out on the bandings unless brought in
for older cars too. over 255g/km will be band M btw.

And they wonder why there are fields of new cars not selling apart from economy.

my sone in law is an MOT tester and there is a sugestion that older cars will be taxed on their emmissions as measured (by a new process not the one allready in use!) as measured and entered in the MOT TEST!

I have cars in band K and have the same issues but I think it is a case of we will just have to wait and see, I htink their will be a lot of political and economic changes in the next couple of years so who can tell what will happen!

The proposed increases got dropped at he last budget but with all the noise about 15% VAT and other stuff no one really noticed. I did as having deliberately bought a pre 1st Mar 2001 so that the tax would be cheaper I suddenly found I could have got something newer, still you win some you loose some.

I've just received my reminder. It's £210 for the year from 1 April 09.

By the time the trade has moved its current stock, cut back on replacement stock and whacked in the effects of the exchange rate, cars will probably be 25% more expensive by then!
