Road tax renewal came a few weeks ago £400 321g of CO2!!!

Then last week I changed reg plate to the prvt one I had, all changed but then couldnt renew road tax as new reg kept showing up as previuos car.
Had to make another trip down to DVLA to get road tax with £400 in pocket

After a while looking at documents, chap at DVLA desk went off to see supervisor.....oh bu&ger I thought. Came back saying as my car was produced before July 06 it doesnt qualify for the higher tax band & that I (previous owner in fact had been paying too much road tax all along) ? This didnt sound right, but I kept quiet anyway. I think its more to do with the fact that when it was first imported into UK it was registered as PLG with no Co2 rating as DVLA wern't too bothered back then. (It was the same with my old Nissan 350z).

Anyway he says he's ammended the system & now you only have to pay £210for 12 months road tax!!!! No doubt this will also have a good effect upon the residual value of my car in a few years time if I decide to sell. Especially as the top rate road tax band cars are probably gona get shafted more by the govt/enviromentalists etc

Just put my reg plate in and it still says 115/210 for the tax. When does/did it change, and am I oneof the lucky ones? The car is an import 52 plate but imported from where I dont know!!
