BUDGET COULD HOLD A SHOCK FOR 4X4 DRIVERS

i don't see how the mot center could dictate what tax you pay.

I should imagine it will be all new cars that will be afected.

They could record your emmissions results which could be used to then calculate your tax band.

your right £30 extra is nothing and wont put peeps off, its a drop in the ocean compared to the fuel costs and depreciation.

Are they taxing ALL big cars or just 4x4s???

Wolfie:
The banded duty rates only apply to vehicles registered on or after 1/3/01, older vehicles are subject to duty according to engine size as shown here.

This proposal is just to add another band for newer vehicles. The testing method for these is laid down in a european directive, details here.

Now I have no evidence to back this up, but would not be surprised that if a new higher band is introduced, the duty rate on older vehicles will be set at the same level as for this upper band.

Hi,

if this relates to vehicles registered after 1/3/01, where do i stand?

my disco is a 99 series II, but as i brought it with me when i returned from Oz, it was first registered in the uk in dec 2004 - but it has an S reg plate cos it is a 99 vehicle.

so, how is it counted?

regards

ela
