Road Tax

My tax will expire 31st March 2009 so my first day of my new tax will be day one of the new rate. So I intend to SORN mine towards the end of Jan, leave it the garage for a week, then re tax it early Feb. Should keep them happy and give me Feb/March to play with if the paper work gets screwed up by the DVLA.
 
Having just re-read agtlaws post with the details in, section A.99 looks like the government are wise to the concept of getting a rebate and retaxing to avoid the extra duty for a year. Might have to go for a December SORN.
 
Have to admit to be a bit confused here (not difficult i know [;)])

mines a 99 plate so this year 185 and next year 200 ???
 
yes, £185 for now but on 1.4.09 this increases to £200 for your 1999 car.

bad luck anyone with a car registered after 1.3.2001 though.

 

there might be financial implications for anyone who imported a 'modern classic' car and date of first registration is after 1st March 2001. who knows?

luckily my lancia delta integrale was imported in August 2000.

shame about the inaccuracies on this website. e.g. "From 1st March 2001 the annual car tax (or Vehicle Excise Duty - VED) rates are determined by CO2 emissions".

try 1st april 2009. the rest of their site refers to a change in march rather than april. oh dear. read the 2008 budget parkers. hint: it's online.



 
This looks bad. My 996 C2 (MY2003) will be up for a tax renewal this November (2008) - I guess that will be £210 and then £420 to renew it again in November 2009...?! Am I right here...?

Yes, that's why I specifically wanted to get a W or X-reg and not a Y-reg when buying mine 14 months ago !

This is an accurate statement is it not, thats the way VED rates have been applied since that date to my knowledge.

The second point is ambiguous, I initially read it to mean that increases were from end of March i.e to take effect from April

(i) it should read from 1st APRIL 2009 the annual car tax (or Vehicle Excise Duty - VED) rates are determined by CO2 emissions and type of fuel used. ...If your car was registered before the 1st March 2001 then car tax is based only on the engine size, with one rate for engine sizes up to and including 1549cc and one for engines over 1549cc.

it looks like a typo to me as they have wrongly repeated 1.3.01

(ii) read the budget extract i posted above. first line is "with effect from 1st April 2009" so it's a mistake to say from march when its actually from april.






 
I dont understand the HM GOV web site says that the higher rate comes in for cars later than 2006. Has this just been changed?
 
its all change from 1st APRIL 2009.

the direct gov website states the position as of today.





 
Small consolation for pre 2001 996, 993s and earlier from the Telegraph:

"However, cars made before 2001 are excluded from the banding system and owners will pay a flat rate of £200, which will rise with inflation".
 
Hi,

So from the Parkers website a new 997 TT will cost circa £1000 to tax in the first year then drop?

Amazing how this government have shafted us. Use taxpayers money to buy all the toys for thier second homes really is taking the p**$.

This 50 billion to bolster the BOE can only be trouble in the long term if there is a default. Hmmmmm times are bad. Certainly looking at leaving the Country again.

That's right. The interesting thing is that so many people I've spoken to - who don't happen to be car nuts - have no idea about next year's changes. I'm convinced there's going to be an uproar about this, just like the 10% tax thing this year (which was also announced way back). hopefully most Porsche owners will be able to afford it and pay up, but what about all those 'normal' families with a 7 year old 5-series BM, or Audi or something that is not worth so much, but get clobbered for the 440 GBP's worth.
