General Car Tax - A Bit Much

goldauto · May 27, 2006

I'm paying my tax this morning at either £96 0r £175 - Its gone up since last year a fiver on the 12 months or £3 on the 6 - My cars a punto 1.9 - My mate has a Peugeot 1.9, and he's telling me his is £115 for the year - Though I ant seen his car, is telling porkies or what, or am I paying too much

Anyone else taxing on a 1.9 jtd this month or circa this time paying the same

You should be paying £110 for the year on a 1.9JTD. The Mk2 JTD's have a CO2 rating of 130 and the HGT Multijet has a CO2 rating of 140. So you'd be paying the same amount of tax no matter what one you have

Bunny pays £110 afaik for a year on her Bravo JTD.

I pay £175 for my Marea JTD as it doesn't come into the new emissions controlled tax brackets (March 2001).

yeah depends on age of your car if it was registers before march 2001 then you have to pay the higher amount you mentioned

Did you know that you can pay online now, ive just paid mine and it took literally only a few minutes to do. You must have one of the new style MOT's certificates though that are stored on the MOT data base. All you do is log onto the DVLA website, go to the appropriate link and enter the reference number from your renewal notice. The system checks you have valid MOT and that you have insurance - if all checks out ok then you pay.............soooooo easy. Your new tax disc is despatched and you should receive it within 5 working days.

Thank you everyone for your replies - My car was registered September 2000, so thats probably why

Missed out by 3 months huh?

Whats 65 quid spread over a year though - especially compared to the thousands you pay in fuel tax.

interesting that a 3 month newer model could carry a premium in value for a knowledgable buyer

Hi, tried it but it only works if your years insurance for the tax disc is currently running when you apply and will still be running when the tax disc starts, as I tried to tax online but my old insurance finished 2 days before the tax disc starts and the replacement insurance wasn't online until it started so I still had to go to the Post Office to tax my car(£190 they wanted!!)

yeh i was made up when i heard about this got online straight away and did it, tax disc arrived save and sound. Only thing is the charge they give up for doing it online, i think it was about £2.50, but its nothing really when you dont have to queue up in the post office haha

Haha - I've done a Mr Bean - Looked dead good like

You only get charged the £2.50 if you use a Credit Card, paying by Debit Card is free
