you gotta love a car tax reminder
Yep it arrived today, hitting the doormat with a thud.
Those robbing want £405.00 this year to tax my D3
I know that some in other places around the world pay more but £405 is still a P**S take.
Well I wont let them price me off the road or stop me driving the type of vehicle I want to drive, So Gordon and your vegtable selection GET IT RIGHT UP YA
P.S.
I'm heading for tyndrum in the Scottish highlands as it's offical, there's gold in them there hills I have something to say! It's better to burn out... than to fade away!

Just paid my £215, nice suprise. Excuse my ignorance but why are some £405 ?
I think if your car was registered after 23rd March 2006 then you pay £405 for it's CO2 emissions but before that £215. It's on the direct gov web site somewhere!

Surely the same CO2 output should pay the same tax.
Its the echo twots with their electric cars that get me... very little or no road fund license or London driving tax, yet they use the same roads and cause more CO2 than the equivalent car due to the dirty power stations that produce the electricity.
If you paid to offset your CO2 with LR, why should you pay any CO2 based road fund license tax at all until 45,001 miles

Wow & I thought we had it bad.....
Just taxed my D3 for the year at a cost of €1,204.00
This is based on a scale of charges calculated on the engine size.
However for vehicles registered after 1st July '08 the road tax switched to being calculated on CO2 emissions, which means any D3 or RRS registered after that date is liable for an annual tax rate of €2,100.00

There were significant potential environmental benefits to be had from a switch to electric vehicles, but these were entirely dependent on changes in the way that electricity was generated and energy was taxed.
Under the EU emissions trading system electric cars were likely to result in higher overall CO2 emissions, the report said.
This got zero publicity elsewhere, as is typical, since any anti-Green story is treated as heresy.No longer a D3 owner but still subscribed to multiple threads!
