tax increase!

[mfm]

Can anyone tell me if the new tax increase applies to all so called gas guzzling cars or just 4x4's?Does anyone else think Gordon Browns an a***hole? Bet you do!!!!!!!!!

All passenger vehicles except those in band A have had an increase in RFL.... the headline £300 (rising to £400 in 2008) rate only appiles to vehicles registered after April 2006 and sitting in Band G... This happens to include all LR apart from TD4 Freelanders. Band G also includes the Mini Cooper S and Mondeo 2.0 litre Automatic (amongst many others).

Its nice to know that my impulsiveness over my Disco 3 purchase in February 2006 (get in there!!!!!) is going to pay off to the tune of nearly £200 a year - excellent!

So spending 26K saves you 200pa... ????

£33K actually - but hey, you takes your little victories wherever you can :rolleyes:
Its almost certainly going to mean that mines going to be worth slightly more than one registered 7 weeks later - I think the shihster has created another vehicle breakpoint date like the 1973 date for paying any tax at all.

Also excludes "commercial" variants [ Defender Hard-tops, Truck-cabs, etc]

I think they are also in the same tax bracket what does the taxation class say on your logbook?

Just bought Road tax Online DVLA for my DiscoII Td5 53 plate but 2004 model. It was £195 for a year. I thought that it was going to be £205 ,so I'm a Tenner up!! But if the tax was increased to discourage "Chelsea Tractors" its not going to have any great effect, is it. I mean, if you are paying out 30 - 65,000 for a new DiscoIII/RangeRover Sport/RangeRover/Shogun/Trooper etc.,then a couple of hundred pounds a year is hardly likely to discourage you is it. Just a means of raising revenue - again.
