2006 Budget Ouch for RS owners!

[Daz Clio Cup]

RS owners...........our car tax has gone up by £25!

It's now gonna rob you £190 a year!

 

[TheCake]

Ah well Bovvvered!

 

[White16valver]

Bunch of t***s.

I wouldn't mind if it was actually based on sound science but this man made global warming doom mongering is far from proven.

To accurately model properly, it would require a supercomputer longer than the current age of the universe to do, so how some half baked environmentalist bankrolling biased science research has been allowed to influence government policy amazes me.

It's all about the tax and trying to force us to do what they dictate.

The worst thing is that Cameron appears to be supporting Bliar on this matter. t**t!!!

so surely this affects all cars that put out over 165kg/m of carbon and in highest tax band?

 

[xtreme_boi]

Where can I see these figures?

Have they been published online yet?

 

[Griff]

so surely this affects all cars that put out over 165kg/m of carbon and in highest tax band?

Nope. New tax band "G" introduced for vehicles over 225g/KM.

 

[Tyson-182]

Crap! I'm going to have to sell now.....

















Just kidding...

But the Government robbed us blind even before this change!!

Tyson.

 

[Rich]

Great news .... blame the Chelsea tractor drivers for that!

Still what's 25 quid a year really in the scheme of things!

 

[Weeman]

Hemel hempstead threw a bit of carbon in the air didnt it, but to make things better lets up the tax for people with cars. Americans dont bother with polloution nor does china and the massive factories!! get a grip govenment. i expect we will buy prescott another house with our tax increace!

Brown. Fife gadgey.

Just because the US and China are too selfish and self absorbed to ignore the Kyoto treaty, dont mean we shouldn't bother.

 

[mr bognor]

What tax band will a 1800 cc be will that go up to

 

[sharkaroo]

ok so we will pay for everyones mess shall we, even though the damage done to the ozone is irrepairable, fact! paying the government doesnt fix this, so its either all do it or dont bother at all!

 

[Thomss]

Mo Fo's never mind.

 

[Griff]

What tax band will a 1800 cc be will that go up to

Based om emissions not engine size.

 

[mr bognor]

Tits

 

[Swervin_Mervin]

PMSL. Mine's gone up a fiver.

If I still had the dci80 it would now only cost £50/yr.

 

[The Hoff]

When is this effective from? I have to renew my tax this month

 

[Griff]

LOL Nice attitude, planet is fcuked why bother trying to fix it.
Two things in life are certian, death and taxes, until such a date when that changes, i'd suggest stoping moaning and paying it cos you can complain all you like they will still be there, or earning enough you can move to monaco/Isle of man. maybe this increase is cos of all the people who have stopped smoking over the last year.

7.75 To strengthen environmental incentives, the Government announces further
reforms to VED:
• a new higher band of graduated VED (band G), set at £210 for petrol cars, will
be introduced for the most polluting new cars (those above 225g of carbon
dioxide emissions per kilometre);
• the VED rate for the small number of cars with the very lowest carbon
emissions (band A) will be reduced to £0 to encourage take-up and assist the
development of the low carbon car market;
• VED rates will also be reduced for band B by £35 and C by £5, frozen for
bands D and E, and increased by £25 for band F;
• rates for pre-2001 registered cars and light goods vehicles in the lower band
will be frozen with the higher band increased by £5;
• the reduced rate of graduated VED for alternative fuel cars will be extended to
include those cars manufactured to run on high blend bioethanol (E85); and
• In total, 50 per cent of cars will see their VED frozen or reduced.Three million
cars will pay VED of £100 or less.

7.76 Motorbike VED rates and the standard rate for post-2001 light goods vehicles (LGVs)
will be increased in line with inflation (with VED for LGVs rounded to the nearest £5), while
Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGV) and bus VED will be frozen. All VED changes will take effect
from 23 March 2006.

Full changes for everyone's info.

Pah, that's a load of tosh too!

And the ozone layer damage is precisely f**k all to do with vehicle emissions!!

 

[Justin]

so its gonna be £210 now for our RS? i think i should get away with paying £105 since its in my garage half the year..

 

[Swervin_Mervin]

What's the CO2 figure for a 172/182?

What's the CO2 figure for a 172/182?

[Steve2004]

Ahh the joys of owning a December 2000 phase 1.

[Timmay]

[xtreme_boi]

Wait for your next tax reminder. It's not worth worrying about.

 

[xtreme_boi]

^ ok

 

[skinner]

^ You are going down a fiver.

What's with the banding obsession with everything? My V5 states 189g km, so only 4 grams into band F, costing £40 more than band E. Why not charge per g rather than put everyone into a band and then charge for the banding?
Renault should just make the next RS produce 225g km and be at the top of the stupid band - same cost!
Nice to see he left his Scotch alone...
