Hi,

Apologies for sounding internet inept...(say that after a few drams..)...but I can't seem to find a site that gives me a definitive current cost for 6mths and 12mths road tax for my potential car.

 

Vosa website

Select a search : Directgov - Car fuel data, CO2 and vehicle tax tools

Regards
Richard

 

For all us annal yanks a "dram" is a small amount of spirits usually whiskey and generally considered 1/8 ounce. Sad to say I actually looked it up. The things you learn on a forum. Amazing.

 

The VOSA.Gov site should confirm your vehicle costs £240p.a. for road tax, unless it's gone up since I taxed mine.

Since March 2001, road tax is based on grams of carbon emitted per Km. If your car emits less than 100g/Km., the charge is currently zero, again unless it's been changed recently. My diesel Renault Megane for instance cost £35p.a. There is an upward sliding scale, some vehicles cost over £400p.a.

It makes no difference if your engine is diesel or petrol, exept that I believe if your car is LPG powered, provided it's registered as such you are exempt from the London congestion charge. Again, this may have been changed.

My 2003 2.5 CRD is down for £280. Ahhhh but its worth it.

 

Hi DVLA website is the place to be for accurate tax rates.
