jdm road tax
 
hi I have just brought a 03 jdm sti and want to know how much road tax is , I have searched but it comes back with anything from £200 - £440

RAGGY DOO 09 October 2016 08:03 AM

1200 euro in Ireland thank your lucky stars

You need to know Subaru's official g/km CO2 figure to find out.

I'm guessing it's 225g/km, so that'd be £295...?

Just found this:

Is that really correct though: is it really in the highest band?! If so, sack that! :( lol

seanvx 09 October 2016 08:27 AM

joz8968 09 October 2016 08:28 AM

Obviously loads of members own your model... So just wait for someone to post up. :)

seanvx 09 October 2016 08:30 AM

To cover everything, I checked all 3 options on that page that would be relavant for your model/year, and all came back as £515. :(

So unless that site is factually wrong, then it's not looking great..... :(

jdm could be based on capacity limit as no offical figures

could be 235 per year right upto 515 per year depends on how its registered by the incompenant dvla

joz8968 09 October 2016 08:41 AM

Ah, yes good point - as it's not an official UKDM model.

And yes, DVLA are a ridiculous outfit.

In fact, all of the UK's so called national utility companies suck the big one: BT, British Gas, Sky......you name them. :rolleyes:

Tarling 09 October 2016 08:51 AM

Mines about £230 but can't remember exactly!

Neil XR 09 October 2016 08:58 AM

taken from another site

his jdm import is £235 per year

It depends if it's on the documentation supplied with the car from Japan really. I believe the CO2 emissions standard is an ISO (ie international) one. It's definitely in the brochures for the current lineup on the www.subaru.jp website (for example, the Legacy B4 with the FB25 engine is 159 g/km). I suspect it'll be available in official Subaru documentation for the Gen IV models too, but my Japanese isn't good enough to see if that still exists on the website :)

Bodski/Lucko old JDM hawkeye STi was £140 a year road tax!! Luck of the draw im guessing with some of these JDM's regarding road tax!!!

BIGEMP 09 October 2016 01:27 PM

Mines a 03 jdm sti and was £230

seanvx 09 October 2016 01:55 PM

ok thanks guys hoping its £230 then

RAGGY DOO 09 October 2016 02:26 PM

Jammy gits

joz8968 09 October 2016 03:25 PM

Weird - nay, annoying (for some, obviously) - that it can differ so wildly!

But as mentioned, no doubt it's due to DVLA being crap and stuff lol

matieboy 09 October 2016 06:55 PM

My 54 plate blob is £230 also

It was indeed :D

Wish I'd kept it to be honest

ronjeramy 12 October 2016 01:23 PM

It will most likely be taxed as a PLG, not on emissions

malevolent_sti 12 October 2016 03:38 PM

Mine was £230, renewed it this month.

The Trooper 1815 12 October 2016 03:46 PM

My MY 2004 JDM Twinscroll 2.0l JDM Spec B GT Leggy is only £230 annually.

ronjeramy 12 October 2016 10:48 PM

Just had a look on the dvla site and PLG's are £230 for 12 month RFL :)

daz1968 13 October 2016 07:21 AM
