Serves you right for driving a car which produces as much Co as one of those awful large 4x4 thingies
I know how you feel, I've just got my new one as well!

PS Tell you what pi**ed me off - my son has an EVO IX and because they're sold on an "import" basis, it's still £165!!!

I would get all you DeCatted boys to have your emissions checked and taxed £5000 if there is evidently no CAT.

Your selfishness is killing the planet for everyones children and their children ..... you should be ashamed of yourselves!!

Ah, but the tax is based on C02 emmissions. With no cat, it doesn't all convert from CO, so less C02 = you should pay less tax, not more.

(having said this, I still run a cat)

But Pete; all of the CO2 produced by catalytic converters is warming up the planet something terrible!

On Wednesday 22nd March 2006 the Chancellor made the following announcement regarding Vehicle Excise Duty (VED)

Cars registered on or after 1st March 2001 which fall into Band A (CO2 emissions up to 100 g/km) will attract a nil rate of duty.

Cars registered on or after 1st March 2001 which fall into Band B (CO2 emissions 101 – 120 g/km) will have their annual rate of duty reduced by £35.00 (40.00)

Cars registered on or after 1st March 2001 which fall into Band C (CO2 emissions 121 – 150 g/km) will have their annual rate of duty reduced by £5.00 (100.00)

Cars registered on or after 1st March 2001 which fall into Band D (CO2 emissions 151 - 165 g/km) and E (CO2 emissions 166 – 185 g/km) will remain at the current rate. (125.00)

Cars registered on or after 1st March 2001 which fall into Band F (CO2 emissions 186 and above) will have their annual rate of duty increased by £25.00 for Diesel and Petrol Cars, Alternative Fuel Cars will have their annual rate increased by £20.00. (190.00)

A new emission band has been introduced for vehicles newly registered from 23rd March 2006. Band G will encompass CO2 emissions figures 226 g/km and above. (210.00)


The DVLA site doesn't mention band E ???? but the new band G is shocking

"Cars registered on or after 1st March 2001"

So it doesn't come into place for cars registered before that time...

Just got mine in the post this morning, £190 also.

Remember when someone on here was asking about the colour of the tax disk for each month as they wanted it to co-ordinate with the car?

My JDM STi is Sept 2002 registered.

So how come the tax was £175.00 and not the usual £190.00
I paid for it last week at the DVLA on-line option.
Does this make it cheaper?

So not only is a JDM far better spec'd and have more power than a UK STi, it's now cheaper to tax also.
Excellent.

As I mentioned in post #4 it's an "import" even though it's sold through Mitsubishi dealers. The same goes for the JDM STi There are no official emissions data. This is a big loophole that needs to be plugged (says me with a UK car!) Anybody buying a new UK STi now, will pay £210!

Ah, but I believe the difference in insurance premium will be a little more than £15, no?
