I have an MY00 Impreza, am I right in thinking this is exempt from the new £400 car tax in the budget?

Nigel H

Yes - Band F and thus goes up by £10 IIRC. You can see the full details in the pdf on the BBC website

Yep you're exempt, it's only for cars registered from April 2006.

i must be reading this wrong i thought it only effected cars after the above date

rpw

ive just filled out the budget calculator on there and it says that band g unleaded is £300 a year as it is saying i will be £90 worse off, are you sure it is £400?

Wiblet

It's £300 this year, £400 next year. Band F, by comparison, is going up £10 and then £5. Yay for my slightly old Subaru!

lightning101

Band G only exists to cars registered on or after 23 March 2006

PeteBrant

If the car was registered in 2000, then it is not banded by emissions at all. It is grouped by cc - Either above ro below 1500cc. SO, you will be obviously above it - which equates to £180 this year and rising by £5 for the next two

What would the tax be on a 2005/6 2ltr STI ?

PeteBrant

Depends when it was registered - After March 23rd 2006, then its in the top band and liable for £300 this year and £400 next. If it was registered before then, then its Band F and liable for £200 this year, £205 next and £210 the year after that.

I'd like to know that too. I thought my car a MY05 STI was a Band G cus it has 265 (g/km) co2 emissions??

Will I or will I not be affected by the new tax changes. I thought I will not be cus my car was registered before 23rd Mrach 2006.

Band F is only from 186 - 225 (g/km) co2 emissions
Band G is 226+

So doesn't that make mine a Band G????

PeteBrant

If the car was registered before March 23rd 2006, then it is a band F, if it was after, then it is a band G.

£210.00 for a year

i'm confused whats this about cars registered after march 2001 i've heard about

jubhi

Ok Pete,

Thanks for clearing that up

jubhi

I think the vehicle bandings of A to F apply to vehicles registered after March 2001.

Band G only applies to vehicles registered after March 23rd 2006 that fall into the higher category of 226+ (g/km) co2 emissions.

PeteBrant

That's right.

Car registered before March 2001 are seperated by those below 1550cc and those above.

silver demon

Its says herehttp://www.vcacarfueldata.org.uk/search/vedSearch.asp

That The CO2 groupings remain unchanged for bands A to E. F now has a ceiling of 225 g/km and new band G covers all cars with a CO2 of 226 and over.

Does this now mean my WRX 2001 march 20th bugeye with 242 co2 on the log book is band G
