Matt H Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Been pondering this for a short time so thought i'd bring it up; My tax for the supra for a year was £185. But i thought it had gone up to £200 and something. Not complaining mind but thought we had a increase in road tax this year that took it over the £200 mark? What has everyone else paid if you taxed your car in the last month or so? Ta Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonkin Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 just renewed mine on the 325 and it was £101 for 6 months. as the supra falls under the 01 reg it is in the same bracket. some polices change in 2009 and some again 2010.

Jamesy Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 just had the same on me skyline - apprently it goes by your emmissions - as most of the imports havent got full data, the DVLA have the cars reg as 0kg emmissions meaning you fall into the bottom bracket - TOUCH!

juanchan Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Road tax is becoming such a joke, that I know a chap who's thinking about flogging his Focus St170 to buy a Celica ST205 GT4 just because of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatSport Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 £185 here, they really get screwed on tax down south, but fuels a lot cheaper, also i think their mot is every two years?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoundWave Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 As previously stated, I believe it is due to it being a pre March 2001 reg. I did laugh when mine was cheaper than my mates 1.8 Audi A4 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiceRocket Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Parkers has a site for checking http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/road-tax/?deriv=8200 That's the UKs sorted. Problem is confusion over the imports and mainly after a particular year of actual import. Ask Silversoop Oh god you've done it now.

Supra-Brett Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Ok so we all know about the pre 2001 thing being cheaper etc. What would happen if i chucked a newer engine in my pre 2001 car or an older engine in my post 2001 car ? Would take the micky wouldent it, if i could put a high emmision engine from an post 2001 car into an older car and still get cheap tax and vica versa. Anyone know the answer ?

Well considering you get taxed on emissions based upon whether your car is this or that reg i'd presume that if done properly and declared to the DVLA you would get taxed upon the emissions of that engine and the year it belongs too.....

n boost Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 The gov't and dvla have not got a clue and this whole emission crap is just a joke. If u had a pre 01 m5 then u pay £185 but if u have one after that date u pay around £440! Both cars have the same engine/emissions and are actually the SAME car but with different number plates. The Gov't are lost cases and need some direction making these dumb rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
