The GTI and the future VED increases

....They are very confusing and typical of govn'ment smashfreakB.gif.

As I understand it:

The GTI with 194 g/km is currently Band F

and as such the tax payable in 2009-10 is £260

as it then becomes reclassified as Band J.

The VED then goes up to £270 in 2010-11.

But if you bought a brand new GTI in 2010 the first year's VED would be £425!!

(assuming the 194 C02 rating for the GTI remains the same).

It's not going to stop my driving habits!! the_finger.gif

Hope This Helps 169144-ok.gif

A know a few people after hearing the budget saying its just another reason not to buy new and buy secondhand which is oddly if you think about it what the top bands have promoted for a couple years now.

Just an anorak question. Does anyone know when officially it went from been called 'road fund licence' at that time the goverment got snooty if you called it road tax or a tax disc, to then been oficially called vehicle tax or tax disc? coffee.gif

Thanks for the links guys.

So where would the R32 2003 go? Really confused right now.

EDIT - sorry being thick here. Band F it would be.

Actually at 286 it is Band G then Band M !

Like the "examples" of + 255 - "Land Rover Sport Auto 3.6 TDV8 (diesel), Porsche Cayenne 6-speed, BMW X5 series E70" seem to have forgotten the 2.0 litre A4, 335i, Citroen C8 2.0, Ford S-Max 2.3, Mazda 3 MPS, Peugeot 807 2.0, Skoda Superb 1.8, Astra 2.0i, etc...

I wonder what band my remapped GTI is sekret.gif

....You mean what band it strictly should be. But the bands are set and fixed according to the manufacturer's official ratings (not remapped).

As someone else posted: They are as accurate as official mpg figures - In other words, inaccurate!

One day, and I hope it's soon, the great British public (and that of the Western World) will realise they have been party to the biggest con-job the world has ever seen.

They said it was Global Warming. They said we were all going to die. They said it was our fault. They said we had to pay all our governments and retailers lots more of our money to make the world right again and to stop us from having a guilty conscience. They said "trust us, we are scientists and your government and we are never wrong".

I say...

F*ck off Global Warming. It's a myth. The Earth has been warming up and cooling down since the dawn of time. We have got f*ck all to do with it. Wake up everyone.

Until then, I will drive my evil planet killing GTi at full throttle as much as I f*cking well like.

Your correct it WAS band F, but mew band will be M, so jumps to over £400 becuase the banding change is backdated to 2001.

The backdating part is the worst part of the change I think, becuase people had made investment decisions in cars prio to the 2006 cut off, now, thats been changed to 2001.

Just imagine if all car manufactures were able to suddenly create all their cars (including performance cars) fall into Band A, IE attracted no road tax. See how quickly the government changed the goalposts then, and find out how much it's really about saving the enviorment!

I'm honestly tiring of this country now and am getting sick of being bent over again and again :-(
