New Car Tax Simplified - Prices explained

[clioruss]

Well the 2007 Budget which we were all dreading has been and gone... and though there are some good changes including a small saving on income tax and a few other bits, unfortunately once again Mr Brown has hit us motorists!

Fuel Duty
Mr Brown announced that fuel duty would go up 2p a litre in 2007 and 2008 then another 1.8p in 2009 - although this year's increase will be delayed until October!

Vehicle Tax
Meanwhile car tax is going up again for most C0/2 bands - Petrol cars between bands C - F will be £15 worse off while their diesel variants (band C - E) will be £5 worse off and Band F diesels will be down £10!

However the main rise in vehicle tax will be for the Band G cars which according to Mr Brown are the "gas guzzlers"! This band not includes the infamous 4x4s but also some large people carriers and estate cars. I'm afraid you Band G drivers will be going up to £300 per year then rising to £400 next year! ouch!

But the least polluting Band A cars will continue to pay no VED and the next cleanest in Band B will see their rate cut to £35 from £50 for diesels and £40 for petrol cars. Meanwhile biofuels, which Mr Brown said helped fulfil the government's obligations on renewable fuels, would have their 20p a litre duty reduction extended to 2010, with the 40p a litre reduction for biogas extended to 2012.

So to recap here's the new tax pricing for the different bands:



Band CO2 (g/km) Tax (per Year)
A <100 £0

B 101-120 £35

C 121-150 £115

D 151-165 £140

E 166-185 £165

F 186-225 £205

G >225 £300

LOOK ON YOUR LOG BOOK. IT TELLS YOU ON THERE WHAT YOUR CO2 OUTPUT IS.

so for a 172 its??

 

[black kro]

woo hoo - mines goes from £50 to £35 a year!

 

[clioruss]

so for a 172 its??

if you have not stole the car look on the log book at the co2 emissions and look at chart, dead easy.

or maybe he's at work and doesn't carry that with him alltthe time? :dead:

Surely you know what band it falls under.

 

[nelson182]

172/182 is now £205 I believe. Typical as mine is due end of April!!
Its 194g/km of CO2

band F I believe....

 

[Laura]

i take it it goes off what it shoul be standard, not what it is

 

[172blue]

Ok....so where does the 225 megane come in? it must be in the top bracket then? ouch!!

 

[DaveLiquid182]

wot about the vee?

 

[sharkaroo]

So far ive paid £160 yr 1, £190 yr 2 and that was bad enough!! Now £205 next year will prob be £240!

 

[Fred@BTM]

i assume a V6 is G then LOL

car tax for an engine converted car stays the same as the original vehicle apparetly? ie you pay 1.2 16V tax, but you've got a 172 engine! LOL

 

[-Leigh-]

Ok....so where does the 225 megane come in? it must be in the top bracket then? ouch!!

It's on co2 emissions not bhp! :lolup:

You don't say! Your point is what?

More power = generally more CO2

 

[-Leigh-]

You don't say! Your point is what?

That just because the car has 225bhp doesn't mean it will have over 225g/km.

 

[McBunny]

woo hoo - mines goes from £50 to £35 a year!

no it doesnt they are petrol ved bands not derv dervis £10 higher

 

[ipsimon]

wot about the vee?

preface lift Vee (230) puts out 267 g/km and the face lift Vee (255) puts out 285 g/km. Therefore they will be in the top band which is Band G.

 

[Danith]

exactly! thank you

if you have not stole the car look on the log book at the co2 emissions and look at chart, dead easy.

or maybe he's at work and doesn't carry that with him alltthe time? :dead:

[172blue]

It seems crazy that a 182 is in the same band as the 225, ST, VXR etc.

 

[Day]

I'm not that excited.

The CO2 (g/km) can differ between 172.

I know the figure on my log book is different to an identical car that is 3 months older.

 

[kevinhall]

I believe that band g only applies to cars registered on or after 23 March 2006.

For cars registered before then but after 1 March 2001 then the max is band f.

For cars registered before 1 March 2001 or with no CO2 data the tax is still based on engine size.

Doesnt it seem more crazy that a Vee is in the same tax band as Lamborghini Murcielago. (correct me if i'm wrong)

Edit^^regarding above post, if the Vee is built after 23 march 2006.

 

[nelson182]

I think im gonna buy a Hybrid car!




















Er.... Yeah right!

 

[Billytheclio]

what will it be for 1.2 16v??

 

[terribleclio]

i don't have to worry about that tax.....but it sucks cause my car was built before 2001 i have to pay £175 a year yet it puts out the same emissions as a golf tdi i want tax for £100 a year

 

[Kris 172]

My R5 GTT is £115 for the year.

 

[nelson182]

My R5 GTT is £115 for the year.
