stringvest Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Thought of changing Range Rover 4 ltr for something economical but still practical, so picked up a 2 ltr jag estate today. The tax is DOUBLE at 520 pounds, twice that it used to be. Did everyone know how much ALL the taxes were going up?

ianr Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Yours seems to be in Band L, the second highest, for CO2 emission, which is used as the basis for the charge.

Jeremy Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I made a similar mistake a few years ago, and bought a fairly nice-ish car without checking the emissions/tax first. TBH it was pretty stupid of me. Looking at getting some sort of hybrid in the next year or so, I think.

malumbu Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Yep they announced it two or three years ago. Maybe you were asleep at the time. It is also good to check first and there is information with all new cars at the showroom. Perhaps it is time to go electric which is zero road tax (cars under 40k so most except the Tessla) or even join a car club. If you are into high end motoring this is a good one http://www.classiccarclub.co.uk/ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/150937-car-tax-increase-shock/#findComment-1130246 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Surely fully electric is a non-starter unless you have off-street parking? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/150937-car-tax-increase-shock/#findComment-1130254 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnL Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 They reduced it too much when they changed it to emissions based and now thy're trying to recoup.

malumbu Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 The new VED regime is bonkers and is neither fish nor fowl. It will change in a year or two I expect. But there again FK where we will go when TM gets in with a bigger majority (not a snipe, just an expectation of a need for additional revenue)There will be loads of charge points sooner rather than later. See earlier discussion. http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1748455 or a long lead outside your house (I've charged normal car batteries in the past doing this and nobody has either tripped up or nicked my extension lead).
