F*cking Road Tax!

[Sacko]

Jesus!

Went to post office to renew my tax disc. I drive a 1.7 Diesel Corsa Van and a years worth of road tax cost me bloody £175! I thought it was a disgusting amount of money!!! Before I went to post office I imagined it would cost around £100 so I am not impressed at all . . .

What do the rest of you drive and how much is your road tax???

Astra Sport 1.8i 16V ~ £185 :angryfire

:laugh: :p

We'll TBF you shouldn't have plucked a figure out of the air, that way you wouldn't have been so gutted.

Nearly £200, a total rip off.

Us big polluters are being made to pay more tax, but I already do that because my car burns petrol for fun. So it's quite annoying, but isn't going to put me off driving my fast car and looking cool. So there.

[TractorBoy]

My electric shopping trolley cos it doesn't have a real engine cost me nowt. Ha ha ha.

Is that right?

One of the women at work has a new Yaris and her road tax is £45 . . .

[Andy]

:eeek That's the bill I received anyway. What factors control the price?

It's on an 07 plate.

[Andy]

I have the new shape on a 55 plate. She's one lucky person!

I looked in the log book which states it's 127. The taxman will come calling to her soon enough :p

I have no idea what engine she has in it, but since she's just bought it brand new I imagine Toyota would have charged her the correct Road Fund Licence for it?

According to the graphic on the right hand side of this page (http://www.toyota.co.uk/cgi-bin/toyota/bv/generic_editorial.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1 288285808.1193079098@@@@&BV_EngineID=cccdaddmgdelhfecfngcfkmdfkid fgf.0&navRoot=toyota_1024_root&portal=null&edname=YA3_engines&id=YA3_engines&catname=%2ftoyota_1024_root%2fmain_nav%2 fpageTopNav%2fZone+YARIS&zone=Zone+YARIS&menuid=9658&sr=Mall) the Yaris CO2 figures start at 119. :thumb

[Kelly_Owls]

I drive a 2001 1.2l Renault Clio and mine is due at the end of the month and it is £115.00.

[ecfc girl]

Mine's £180 coz it's an older car so comes under the old price band. 1901 cc.

[FY1]

Apparently my car is in band D but I payed band C price last month:confused

[ecfc girl]

There's different prices depending on whether your car is petrol, diesel or alternative fuel class. The band prices are within these classes. There are different classes for vans.
Also if your vehicle is older than 'Y' reg you'll pay the old class rate and not the new.
