Tax Renewal on a Mk4 Clio

[MissPeachie]

Hi everyone,

I received my tax
renewal for my 2013 Clio Dynamique MediaNav TCe 90 S/S Eco yesterday and it
states the following:

For 6 months - £0
For 12 months -
£20


I was told when ordering the car back in August last year that
the tax would be £0 every year. I also had a check on Renault's website this
morning on what they say the tax is and it still states it's £0 a
year. My CO2 emissions is 104 g/km.

Who else has had this problem?

Also, I might as well just
pay £0 for 6 months each time it comes up for a renewal. This doesn't make sense
whats-so-ever!

HELP!!!!!!!!

Thanks in advance,
Leigh

Personally i would pay two lots of £0 rather than one £20 for the year.

Ah the joys of the modern car

6 months is a better deal... it's a BOGOF offer as well

 

[MicKPM]

Call the number on your reminder and ask them what is going on... don't fear the telephone, they can't get you!

I've got the dci and just renewed a year for £0 ?

 

[_Tom]

IIRC £0.00 is free? I'm not 100% though.

 

[Advikaz]

Good old DVLA

 

[Yellow Dave]

Our old focus was £30 a year tax or £0 for 6months on the renewal form.

When end you tried to tax it they would only let you tax it for a year. 6 months was not an option which is why it stated it at £0.

 

[Sash]

I couldn't tax my old dci for 6 months, it was £30 or sorn.

 

[TimR26]

Your tax was £0 for first year then £20 a year there after.

£20 a year and still complaining. Really?

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

£20 a year and still complaining. Really?

This did make me laugh a little lol

 

[Craig]

[Spinksy]

£20 a year and still complaining. Really?

This did make me laugh a little lol

Whats £20

Surely if you read the op they are confused as to why they are being charged anything when told it would be free....

Principal mean nothing to you guys?

Standard cs, to scared to pick the phone up.

 

[Martin_172]

it says 6 months is £0 because you cant tax it for 6 months, my DCI is the same its £20 for 12 months.

LOL at going raj because your tax is £20, I genuinely ENJOY paying my £20 a year as it makes me happy knowing that's all it costs haha!

EFA lol

 

[Lukeey]

It's not really luck, is it ?

The costs are not hidden when you buy a particular car.

Both of mine are something like £230.

Guess I had some back luck not getting one of the diesel 90's Imprezas.

 

[Lukeey]

I would rather be paying £20 then £180! And are you sure they didnt mean for the first year it would be free?

 

[ColinG]

I wish I could tax either of mine for £20 a year, or even £20 for 6 months..

Both of mine are £20ish per month!

 

[MissPeachie]

I'm not scared to pick up the phone and I'm not complaining at £20 a year, I'm quite happy to pay it. It's the fact I was told by the salesman that I wouldn't have to pay yet now I'm being charged :/

 

[Martin_172]

I was also told by the salesman that a clio 200 EDC does 0-60 in 3.2 seconds because it has launch control I wouldn't listen to anything they say lol

Taxing cars based on co2 is just one big con!

They just do whatever they like and your tax just goes up and up every year.

What used to wind me up is when I had my 1.4 Clio I was paying around £150 a year tax and doing less than 2000miles a year.

My next door neighbour had a new 5 series diesel and his tax was £0. His car spends all of its life pounding up and down the country doing god knows how many miles a year. Which car produces the most emissions and most wear on the roads? The BMW yet his tax is £0.

The whole thing is just typical of this country. All these modern cars paying £0 now will be paying a fair amount in only a few years.

 

[AK]

It isn't to pay for the roads FYI.

 

[Jack-C]

It isn't to pay for the roads FYI.

I never said it did. I was just talking about co2.

A certain percentage goes back into the roads to build new roads, tunnels etc. Some of the money is spent on public transport and the railways and the rest of the money just goes to the government and is spent on other things.

I don't know the ins and outs of VED but that's my understanding of it.

If that's wrong feel free to correct me

My point I was trying to get across is people buy new cars thinking great I've got free road tax now but in a few years time they will just deem that car to be producing too much co2 and the car buyer now has to pay road tax.

The OP is paying £20 a year now but I'd be interested to see how much it goes up in a few years time.

The Clio dci's have been around since 2001 and have remained at £30 for the last 13 years.

That kind of pisses on your argument tbh.

No body wants to hear reason Daniel. We want outrage.

I mean, it's not as if you can find out how much a car costs to tax before you buy it. It's a complete lottery waiting for that reminder. Is it free, is it £500, only time will tell.

It's also completely insignificant in the total cost of running any car.

But again, no one wants to hear that.

 

[AK]

I blame the Indians coming over in shipping containers IMO.

 

[Bluebeard]

Typical deeg outburst.

I fcuking love you. <3

 

[DrR]

Anything under 100grams of co2 is free, yours is 104 so won't be.

getting my st taxed for free in Germany ftw.

Some were £20 IIRC

 

[Bluebeard]

Some were £20 IIRC

dci 80's were £20, dci 65's were 30 from memory.

 

[JP83]

Yeah, that's the one. 65's and 100's were more for some reason.
