General Tax

[PhilBrook]

Just bought a 1.3 multijet 16v 2012 Active Estate- Astounded at £240.00 road tax. This puts it in group I . Seen a 2008 model for sale with Arnold Clarke which says road tax £150.00. What's going on? I'm new to Fiats so maybe this is not new but can anyone tell me what they pay for this model?

Looks like you haven't got an Estate

That is Goods Vehicle tax rate
Is your taxation class (from V5 or from DVLA website) M1 or N?
M class should be rated on emissions, N is classed as a light goods vehicle and is a flat rate of £240

Hi,
Sounds like @AlwynMike is correct, the vehicle may have been misclassified from new. If it has windows behind the front doors it's a car not a van. You should be able to get the DVLA to chnge the class.

Hi, and welcome,

have a look at the V5c / logbook for taxation class,


it'll be either based on emissions.. or CC
