SilverSoop Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I contacted DVLA about the tax issue (I have a 97 TT imported in 2007) and it's only done on emissions for cars registered after 2001 with them so my '97 is on the old system (£185 for the year) despite being registered in 2007 with DVLA. It's done on the date of manufacture so the vast majority of Supras are taxed the old way not on emissions. So why is my TT put on the new system if yours isnt?! My '98 TT was bought in December last year...Has your supe got the reading of CO2 on the V5 document???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keener Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Nope, no emissions on the MOT. Might be worth calling them direct to confirm. When was yours made? If it's pre 2001 it's definitely done on the date of manufacture so talk to a manager if they try to give you the runaround. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though my Supe was manufactured in 1998, when i bought it, it had 303g/Km of CO2 and was registered in the M1 catorgory printed on my V5 document... Thats confusing as to why your Supe isnt in the same catorgory as mine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keener Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Most confusing. I'd write to them if I were you. It's all well and good calling but I've had different answers from different people in the same call centre from so many different companies I just write to complain now if it's something major like this. Explain what you've found out on this forum of course and see what that gets you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to sound silly but which part of the DVLA am i best off to write to as there are a few different parts to the DVLA???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multics Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 So why is my TT put on the new system if yours isnt?! My '98 TT was bought in December last year...Has your supe got the reading of CO2 on the V5 document???? Sorry to but this is my V5. Is it similar to yours? I can't figure out what those CO2 readings are and if they're going to affect my next tax payment (end of May). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keener Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I don't have any of that on my V5. Section 3 just says that it was registered overseas originally and was manufactured in 1997. Nothing about emissions on the MOT either. When I called DVLA a while ago to check the tax rules they checked the number plate of the vehicle and it said £185 for the year. He then confirmed it's done on age of car. Give them your number plate and see what it comes up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 you guys are lucky.. i pay nearly €1300 per year on road tax Yet your petrol is 30cents a litre cheaper than ours according to the AA as of 9am this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tones Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Yet your petrol is 30cents a litre cheaper than ours according to the AA as of 9am this morning. most places here are about €1.20c a litre of 95ron, isnt urs about £1.05 a litre which would nearly be the same?

SilverSoop Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Sorry to but this is my V5. Is it similar to yours? I can't figure out what those CO2 readings are and if they're going to affect my next tax payment (end of May). Have a look inside your V5 and it should have a clear reading of your emissions. If it says something like mine 303g/Km of CO2 and M1 catorgory approved, there is a possible chance. If it doesnt say that or your CO2 reads 0g/Km or n/a, you are in the clear Multics... When was your supe imported/bought?? Edit: Just read the bottom of the first page of my V5, it reads; SVA CERT ISSUED 31 08 2006 EMISSION LIMIT - %CO 0.5; 0.3FI HC 0.02FI: LAMBDA 0.97-1.03.

n boost Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 No there isn't. My '53 plate 3.2Ltr M3 (in the highest emissions category) costs less than that to tax. No way an older Supra with a smaller engine could cost that much. Mate i checked with dvla and my m3 is a 2002 and our tax is going up to £440/£455 a year from march 2009. My tax runs out next month so i will be buying 6 mths which will end in nov 08 and then will buy 12 mths (at current rates £220 ish for year) to take me till nov 09. So at least i get a year and half on current prices before the gov't shafts me. how you finding the m3? is yours manual or smg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supraGZaerotop Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 confused about the tax thing, so are we going to be paying silly amounts of tax for the supra it being 3ltr twin and all because one of the drivers in work said that they are supposed to be hammering older cars with big tax,or trying to anyway, how long can the petrol prices keep on going up until the countrys people just blow theyre top is what i want to know. how can they just keep rising the cost all the time, i think there should be a protest on a national scale if you ask me, americas people moaning because they are paying like £2.50 a gallon, THIS COUNTRY IS A BIT F'#KING NUTS.

Well the thing im having trouble understanding is how my car is under the M1 class and was imported last year along with a few other member's supe's on here... the thing is, how come their cars aren't under the new rules but mine is????

Your guess is probably as good as any gov't officials, as i think them fooools dont have a clue. They just do what they want and dont think about it or anyone else.

Gazboy Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Because yours was tested by whoever did the SVA. Yours was also imported in December- when were the other cars imported? Has any members on here got a 08 imported car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 It's just been pointed out elsewhere that cars imported after 01/03/06 should have a C02 reading as part of the SVA. Slightly more worrying is someone else mentioned they have a friend who works at the DVLA who has said that the DVLA are looking into all imports registed after 01/03/06 for tax fraud (he said tax dodge). Lets hope they don't go after PLG's.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
