MOSE Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 What a bummer, its almost criminal to think that the Ro is still in band F so will only pay the £190....or however much it will be. And considering how much crap the Ro kicks out, I find that a sheer insult to drivers of other cars bought after 1st March 06. Cant wait to go and live in France. The UK is a money grabbing sh1t pit.

lenny Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I've just had enough of labour... However I can vote against them cause I live in Northern Ireland.... Yet they still make decisions.... ie. road tax! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winrya Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 thing that annoys me the most about these taxes is that unless the rest of the world get on board with this, then the little we are doing is going to make no difference other than make us all worse off ££££ wise.

BrakeSnake Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 This is just the start, regardless of who is in parliament at the mo... they will all use the biased global warming data as a way and means of taxing those who can afford to run and buy premium/sports cars... just like fox hunting, it is yet another assault on the middle classes and those who work hard for a living and want to enjoy their earnings...

graeme86 Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Never let the facts get in the way of a good story (or preclude a new tax on motorists) 's: http://porkopolis.blogspot.com/2006/02/60-minutes-on-melting-ice-caps-on.html http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/02/070228-mars-warming.html You Pommy drivers seem to have more than your fair share of draconian motoring laws and taxes, which started with that red flag walking in front of the first cars! They can basically ream you blokes till the cows come home because no one wants to give up their cars and they know it. I've always wanted to use the icon, by the way, and this seems appropriate because thats what they are: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrakeSnake Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Interesting reads by the way Graeme. Unfortunately this approach of theory is all too often shunted and buried by the sensationailist Hollywood style of Modern eco scientists that just want to be seen in the current limelight and receive shed loads of extra research funding to pump out more bullshite than the whole of the human race can excrete in a century!

Argus Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Just read the N.O.W,s motoring questions by Quentin Willson and it says there the new tax laws will affect all cars registered after March 2001 !!!! even the DVLA calculator comes up with something similar....so I,m real confused now.whats the definitive answer...when does the big tax increases start from cars registered after...march 2001 or 23rd March 2006...any ideas guys..?????

dogbucket Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 cars reged after 2001 fall into 6 groups A-F depending on emissions. ie a 2003 R32 is group F and will pay £205pa However if your car was reged after March 2006 and has emissions higher then 225co2s it qualifies for a special super group G, in which you will pay the £300, ie a 2007 R32. Other cars reged after March 2006 with co2s lower than 225 fall into A-F as before. http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/OwningAVehicle/HowToTaxYourVehicle/DG_10012524 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulboy Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 The exact date for class G is cars registered after 23rd March 2006. Mine was registered 30 March 2006.......and it was late being registered because DVLA and VW ballsed it up. ps Gordon Brown is a cnut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vagabond Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 It's a bum deal for sure. We'll all have to cut our cloth accordingly and swallow the extra expense. On a positive note, it can only ensure that the R stays pretty scarce, which is a good thing imho "Now where's my plastering trowel?" LOADSAMONEY!!!!!!
