Tax Disks...for you all :-)

[Zak33]

Just so you ALL understand Tax disk duty....here's how it works.

If your car was registered before 2001 Y reg.....ie its an X reg from 2001 or before, then its simply a BIG engine or a SMALL engine.

The size is 1549cc.......over that its BIG. Under or same, its SMALL.

Price: Big=165 Small= 110

Now the complex bit....cars from Y reg one ward.....Carbon Dioxide Emissions....CO2 per Km travelled.

There are LOTS of different CO2 emmissions....so you gotta get it OFF your V5 (log book) and then use a chart to see its cost.

Petrol and Diesel and Dual Fuel are ALL different....

http://www.dvla.gov.uk/vehicles/taxa...#Private/Light Goods Vehicles (Vehicles registered on or 1st March 2001)

Go see......

now the last bit....if you buy 6months, you pay half PLUS 10%

Dead easy.....

Hope it helps you all

Tell me about it, mines a 1999 1579cc so it's a Big Engine and I pay the same in tax as my mum does on her 4.4 V8 !!!

Then again I do about 4 times the mileage she does, but we don't mention that

I'm gonna make you all cry. My Landy (2.5 TD) costs a mere £110 for tax per 12 months. And in a little over 7 years time, it will be free Stick that in yer pipe and smoke it

[Zak33]

smoking as we speak....

euurghh....*spits*

horrid diesel taste

[5lab]

it will never be free. sorry, but its the truth. cba to explain right now, sure someone will. bastard labour

[Zak33]

5lab.......be cool....come back and explain about Classic Tax disks asap

[Capt Doufos]

Cars Registered in or before 1974 are entiled to free road tax. It was orginally somthing like 26 years old, but they stopped it.

What annoying is my 1975 Midget falls about 4 months short.

[5lab]

sorry didnt have time. basically labour stopped the rolling (25 year old cars become exempt) on the logic that new cars are better for the environment. as doufos said, theres now a set date, you either classify or dont.

[Zak33]

good man.

I do very little mileage in my 1993 1579cc rover and I still paid £165

Possibly a further nail in its coffin next year... decisions. Thanks for the info Zak!

That may be the case, but due to Tynwald (Manx Gov.) being decidedly ace, the 25 year old thing still works here. la la laaa....
