edd_t Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Just about to TAX the Supe for another year. And have noticed on the V11 it says my engine capacity is 3060 CC. I always thought it was 2997! I know its not mega difference, but am hoping it doesnt mean I'm paying more than I need to on TAX. Anyone know of the relation between engine capacity and how much tax you pay? Am about to pay £175 for the year, is this what everyone else pays?

GeordieSteve Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Yep you don't pay more for over 3ltr. Just 1.6 or 1.4 onwards I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchan Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 For cars registered pre-2001 (or made pre-2001 can't remember), the tax bands are £110 for below either 1.4 or 1.6 (my 1389cc corsa just cost me £110 so not sure which is the cut off), then £175 for everything above that. Post-2001 cars have a right mess of tax brackets because it's dependent upon the carbon emissions of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 It is 2997cc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I'm looking forward to March - I discovered yesterday that the tax runs out on the 964 and the Supra at the same time. Bye bye £350 - and that's if the nice chancellor doesn't put the price up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could always get 1 tax disc and swap it between the 2 cars, or use a colour printer to produce a copy and put the other cars reg on it. May not be legal but it would certainly make parking the car in public a wee bit more exciting!! H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I taxed the 964 for 6 months once before, because it had running out at the same time as the insurance and service were due. It's spread a bit better now - 964 insurance in September, Supra insurance in October, both taxes in March, 964 service in May, Supra MOT / service in March (and probably another minor service in October). So I do get a few months bill free..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you change it, the DVLA will record it as a change rather than an error. Could be tricky explaining it should you sell it. I wouldn't bother personally Gaz.
