Road Tax

I've seen some on here where they missed the lower tax bracket by only a day or two. Imagine that!
Mine is a year into the higher bracket, bad enough but not as bad a just a few days!
However, I can't say I wasn't aware before buying it, so I have to take it on the chin.

According to https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-tax-rate-tables any car registered on or after 1st March 2001 has an emission based tax rate.
*Includes cars with a CO2 figure over 225g/km but were registered before 23 March 2006.

from the 1st March - ALL manufacturers had to state the emissions of each model (and variants)
before 1st - done on engine size (as this was the only metric the DVLA have)

Technically the difference should go towards the government investing in high efficiency energy systems to offset all that terrible CO2 that us rich fat cat, enviro heathens are creating. Yeah right. It should be called the 'because we can' tax.

Imports have exemption.
My V5 (JDM) says 'no CO data' or something like that.
That's the trouble with bureaucracy, instead of a simple "it is this" it's always "it is this......unless this applies.....or alternatively this... or that...".

So are all imports exempt from this banding including current vehicles such as the one litchfields import and if so how much would they cost to tax? Would the cheaper tax outweigh the import insurance?

Meh, I'm at work trying to dodge the bosses who keep asking why I'm looking at car forums.

I don't know whether it's standard not to have CO readings on imports or whether it's only ones from certain countries or whatever (bl**dy bureaucracy !).
I know my 95 WRX (imported 2008) didn't have 'emissions' and I actually had to tell the MoT station !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Afa Litchfields are concerned I can say that one bought from them in Jan 06 and registered then is only £280/yr.
No doubt someone's got a post-March 06 JDM (anyone ?).
PS - as far as I'm aware insurance for a JDM shouldn't be more expensive in itself, although of course higher power figures, more expensive parts might make a difference.
I'm currently paying £630-odd with 4 years NCD for a T20.
Do a test comparison on one of those websites (use a junk email address or you'll get spammed to death).

I have a 2005 blob import and my logbook just states no data available. I am taxed on engine size, I have seen some post 2006 imports on plg tax and some on emissions based so I presume it depends on the sva test report.

I have a 2006 56 hawk sti and it's in the higher tax bracket, £490 per year.
It's a joke really, I know of a guy who drives a 13 reg scania lorry, v12 16 litre and he pays in the region of £112 per year road tax!
The lorry is on the road everyday and just say covers 400 miles per day.
Don't tell me my car covering 100 miles per week pollutes the air more than that lorry covering 2800 miles per week?
Are there any lorry drivers on here that give any further information on this and how this works?
Cheers
