Well I just paid my tax again and it's £245 for my 53 (1 Jan 2004) 120. Better than the £450 that was speculated but still £30 up on last year.
Leaves a bitter taste in your mouth...
May the fleas of a thousand camels infest their testicles.
 
I was gonna laugh but i just checked and the pre 2001 higher tax band has gone up to £205!!! that's £410 a year in road tax alone for me!!
 
Well I got mine on SORN for the past few months, as I am 'away'

So nice little not so nice surprise for me when I return.
I am in the bracket with you Crispin so I will be looking at £245 also.

I suppose we can be the lucky ones, I think it's 2006 that pay the hiked prices ?

I don't think I paid £245 but we do ours a bit earlier in the year so we get a delayed price rise :D At least you have a cruiser on the road for that, we pay the same road tax for Steph's Rav4 as we do for my 100 :(

I'm confused? Your 100 cheaper with the gas now or the rav4 expensive? How much is the Rav4? I wife wants one as a new car (although, she did not baulk at the idea of taking a real LC :cool: )

I haven't registered the LPG on the 100 with DVLA yet, too close to traveling to rely on them not messing up. Both the 100 and the Rav4 (both 2001) are band F so they're the same road tax rates even though the Rav 4 does twice as many miles to the gallon.
 
Ah ye poor things..........Just be thankful that you dont live in Ireland.

For Privatley owned Passenger vehicles .....
Older cars registered before July 2008 will continue to be have motor tax based on the size of their engine - the bigger the engine cc - the higher the tax.

The amounts can be paid for 6 months or 3 months - but the rates are slightly higher than if you pay for a full 12 months.

Now you can see the appeal of the Commercial Vehicles in Ireland, which have only 2 seats, but a big load area, as I only pay €288 road tax.

For Vehicles registered since 2008 prices are .............

:shock:
No wonder I saw so many commercial LCs when I was there.
"It's ok kids, you don't need windows in the back. I'll wall paper the inside so it looks tropical"

Having a breakdown per 100cc seems a bit anal as well.

Bloody extortion.
 
Fine I promise not to complain anymore :evil:
