Pete Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 Got my renewal in today for my tax as its up the end of the month 3 months tax - 347 euros 6 months tax - 683 euros Full Year - 1231 euros now thats a kick in the gooleys lol FFS! I'd no idea you guys had to pay so much. What's your public transport like? £180? lol try €1100. You brits make me sick complaining I simply wouldn't pay that for the Tiger. I did about 350 miles last year - at your prices that would be €3.14 per mile! Instead it's 0.51p per mile, I still think I'm quite justified to complain at that.

Burna Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Excuse my ignorance but why have a I got to get a tax disc before Wednesday to avoid the higher rate Pete? I would like to know as I'm just waiting on my insurance document so I can tax the pug at the post office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Expect some good old green taxes to come in, they are thinking about taxing the old 4x4's, yet they are considering building more coal power stations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, he promised before it was going to go up by a fiver a year, presumably in April. (edited) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Let me guess this straight. As of this minute there is no super massive price hike. Pete is merely suggesting/speculating that there will be. AFAWK it'll be another fiver on last years price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happened to me last year, hence the warning. Let me guess this straight. As of this minute there is no super massive price hike. Pete is merely suggesting/speculating that there will be.

Tricky-Ricky Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Catch 22 then, you cant apply for tax until the 15th so it may go up before then, or does it just go up by £5 in April? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burna Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Because your Tax starts in April they charge you the extra from now. It happened to me last year, hence the warning. I think I understand now. If I go pay for my car tax now it will effectively be from the begining of March, but if I go later this month it will start from Aprils price. Have I got that right?

In theory yes, but if your car is already taxed to the end of March, I think Pete is saying that they will send you a new one to run from 1st april even if it is before the supposed cut off date of the 15th. Hopefully i will find out tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pug didn't have any tax so I just turned the theory in practice down the post office and it cost me the old rate I now have turbo diesel power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike M Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Prove that it's built before Jan 1973 and you can waltz in and out of the post office with a free disc and pollute the atmosphere as much as you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tones Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 bought mine today, 180 pounds whats with guys complaining with £180 PER YEAR for road tax on a 3L Supra????? Thats practically nothing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 Why this particular date? Because they capped the 25 year old rule to cars made before this date. I'd like to rebuild a tax exempt classic with a modern reliable diesel engine when funds permit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl_S Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 On my tax renewal form it says : THE RATES OF DUTY WERE CORRECT WHEN PRINTED IF THEY CHAGE IN THE BUDGET A NEW RATE MAY BE PAYABLE. THE EARLIEST YOU CAN APPLY FOR A TAX DISC IS 15.03.08. seems like we cant avoid it by getting it early. I'm going to sell this car, my forester runabout, anyway, and get a prius / small petrol/ diesel car. Gordon Brown has it bout right, very sneeky but effective way of making us change our petrol habits. Not selling the supe unless they stick an ireland size tax on it.
