Default Tax Friendly Classics

Just got my Road Tax Renewal Form.

£180 ..... I don't like it - but I would be really cheesed off if it said £400+!!

Looking on the Car Tax site at Parkers it says I should be paying £185?

They heard about you and Curry's so are offering you a £5 discount to go easy on them, clearly.

How come some people pay £180 for a MY00 and others are paying £205 ?

Somethings not right there

The local post office has a sign up saying that since the budget, the amount stated on the renewal form may be incorrect.

My Land Rover :£0 Tax

No catalyst
No EFi
about 10-15mpg
Probably produces more CO than CO2

So much for tax on polluting vehicles

If your car was registered before the 1st March 2001 then car tax is based only on the engine size, with one rate for engine sizes up to and including 1549cc and one for engines over 1549cc.

Err ok That's the entire point!....its puts ALOT more pollution than anything new....and the cost of road tax £zero. As the vehicle was constructed and used before 1st January 1973. (re: Historic Vehicle ), and therefore exempt from duty.

What's the deal with the Bold print?
