SUPRALOOPY Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Who cares ? Thats what your gonna pay so swallow it or sell your car! rich peeps can keep the cars, poor peeps can by a corsa!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSoop Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 i think there's a bit of a grey (sic) area around the UK registration date of imports. From what i'd read so far it seemed that cars registered recently (the 2006 date mentioned earlier) and from now on would be caught up in the new system like silversoop's has ..............but i thought Keancy's would be caught by this 'rule' too, but its seems she's escaped Yeh i think thats because on her Vehicle enquiry it says null as compared to mine where it says M1 approval. Keany's car was registered in the same year as mine but no M1 approval or emission record like mine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Who cares ? Thats what your gonna pay so swallow it or sell your car! rich peeps can keep the cars, poor peeps can by a corsa!! Hairy muff, but the problem here is that one owner of two identical spec TTs made in the same year is paying twice as much as the other.

Yeh i know, of course im going to pay it, i dont have any choice! but it just the principle of the thing, how "our" labour like to rob us of everything lately... And what ewen said, how can two TT's made in the same year be paying twice as much as each other, doesnt make any sense to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chingy Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 The DVLA has told me (for the second time of asking) that its not how long an import has been in the UK, its how old it is that counts, or when it was manufactured. Hence any Supra manufactured before March 1st 2001 would be taxed on engine size only, whatever the date of import and registration in UK. Type approval M1 is I thought, a model report...I thought a model report was not available for late model Supras, hence why since 2004 we cant import TTs less than ten years old....maybe Jurgen has some input on this ? That would make more sense, I hope so as mine is a 93, but registered jan '08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSoop Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 That would make more sense, I hope so as mine is a 93, but registered jan '08 Yeh exactly, just read keancy's again and the year of manufacture was 1993 which is why there is no M1 approval and no record of CO2 emissions unlike mine which is the complete opposite hence why the road tax is completely different...

Bryan_Jones Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 wow, this is all confusing. I'm driving a '95 imported in '05. I hope I'm in the clear. £185 is enough anyway as I only do about 3000 miles a year! Surely the point is that if you use the roads more you pay the price. Hence the name 'Road tax'. Now the government is using the emissions as a new way of taking more money off us. B*****ds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking yours and mine, both made in '98. If yours has a model report, then so should mine....on the face of it, it seems a model report for late model Supras has suddenly materialised, which may imply that importing Supras less than ten years old is possible. Thats something that excites me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your road tax was £165.00 for 6 months when you last paid it, then it will have gone up to £220.00 for 6 months. If however was £99.00 then it will have only gone upto £115.00. If you check the dvla website-look on uzthedentist's post and go to vehicle check bit, enter your vehicle details and it will tell you what you will be paying...

Oh right sorry Ewen, the only difference with yours and mine is that your approval is null and your CO2 emissions is 0g/Km which would suggest i assume, why your road tax is completely different to mine...

uzthedentist Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I have spoken to the DVLA this morning to 2 different operators and now have confirmation on this. If your car was manufactured before 2001 you will be lin the old tax band regardless of when it was imported. However, if upon importing the vehicle you provide them with a CO2 Figure then you will be in the new tax bands. I wonder if this is a feature of the newer SVA test to provide this information??. Silversoops car must have CO2 information held by the DVLA hence unfortunately the higher tax band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uzthedentist Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 in theory its possible but they should only test HC and CO to make sure emissions arent dangerous as they cause serious diseases at street level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastisnice Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Date of Liability 01 04 2008 Date of First Registration 01 04 2002 Year of Manufacture 1993 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 2990CC CO2 Emissions Not Available Fuel Type Petrol Export Marker Not Applicable Vehicle Status Licence Due to Expire Vehicle Colour SILVER Vehicle Type Approval null £185 FOR A YEAR, so it means that if you haven't passed an SVA test recently they can't have your CO2 so i'm safe:) Does that mean that some cars which will cost a lot less to tax will have more resale value!?? because they will cost less to run!
