--- Quote from: Disco Matt on April 13, 2009, 16:59:47 ---Are pre-2001 vehicles still to be taxed at the current rate?
--- End quote ---
Probably - may be a small increase as there usually is.
--- Quote from: ne jones on April 13, 2009, 18:04:21 ---Any tables for co2 emissions?
--- End quote ---
If your car was registered after 1 March 2001 the CO2 emissions will be shown on the V5C (logbook). Current models are on the VOSA web site (IIRC).

How did you (or she) work that one out? Under the original proposals my 2005 Td4 was going to be £300 :-k

--- Quote from: muddyjames on April 13, 2009, 16:53:29 ---so what about light goods vehicles? Any change on there? I bet there is as I bought one at the weekend. :doh:

No change I can find on the commercial side, so a winne there.
--- Quote from: muddyjames on April 13, 2009, 16:53:29 ---Also, I am wanting to sorn 2 vehicles. both over 2litre engines and about 15years old. Is it worth me sorning them on may 2nd or will I not make any money out of the higher price? Will I just get back what I paid but divided by the number of months remaining?

You will only ever get back the amount you paid less the months used. If you have 6 months tax then there is an admin fee within that so its not divided by 6!
Regarding SORN, just get the forms to claim the tax back and make sure you tick the box to say SORN on the form. Make sure you send them in SEPARATE envelopes! I know it sounds aft, but the DVLA get confused with two things in the same envelope!
There has always been a clause in claiming the tax back that says you cannot re tax it within a month!

My TD5 is an Australian import, so had to be SVA'd
As you can see below ( details from http://www.taxdisc.direct.gov.uk ) the CO2 emissions are ZERO :lol:
Bring it on Mr Darling :dance:
I realise that this price will probably change too, but I reckon not as much as if I had bought a UK model.

Let us know what happens, but I have a feeling you will be taxed with the rest of us. Although your individual vehicle may be registered as 0g/km it will be classed as a 2004 disco and the manufacturers figures used for taxing purposes.
