SmokeEm Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 And if you sell it next week, you lose the lot!
Admin Vista Posted January 3, 2015 Admin Report Posted January 3, 2015 And if you sell it next week, you lose the lot! You lose 1 month of it same as if you'd cashed it in. They only refund full calendar months, which is a complete rip off now that it's an automated system with no disk to display anyway. They should be refunding to the day but are claiming that the admin costs of doing so would be too high (bullshit if you ask me)

norm1 Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 i may of got it wrong but i think the tax rate is on emissions my passat tdi is £145 for six months and it has to pass the very same emission test at mot as a nill to pay car as said rip off

Jo's car will be band K, band M cars will cost you an eye watering £500 per year!
SmokeEm Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 I was misinformed We recently bought Michelle a used Honda. Dealer bought it with 3 months tax on it and didn't cash it in as the law hadn't come in. When we collected on 1/11/14 he had lost it due to new law.
Admin Mk2Jo Posted January 3, 2015 Author Admin Report Posted January 3, 2015 What's a band M car then Vista? An M5 or something more exotic?
turnover Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 What's a band M car then Vista? An M5 or something more exotic? It goes on emissions Jo even some of the smaller engine 2.7 TD range rovers from 2008 are £500 ,3.0 ltr q7 is £475 so doesn't have to be a porsche or Ferrari ,subaru,s are allways expensive and later ones I think are £475 1
aaron1980 Posted January 3, 2015 Report Posted January 3, 2015 £500 a year! That's shocking. We used to have a renaultsport clio that was about £250 but have now changed to a fiesta diesel that cost £20 lol 1
mk2 mike Posted January 4, 2015 Report Posted January 4, 2015 I was thinking of buying a R32 golf last year but the £450 per year tax put me right off. It's bad enough paying £250 for the escort!
Danish Posted January 4, 2015 Report Posted January 4, 2015 What's a band M car then Vista? An M5 or something more exotic? My Jaguar XJ8 would have been band-M if it was 2 months newer - I deliberately bought one registered just before the change
irishtorag Posted January 4, 2015 Report Posted January 4, 2015 pre 08 bmw and large engine cars can pay up to 1300 euro a year here we have and 07 corsa 350euro and a 09 focus 200euro mk2 is 56 euro so you are all still a long way off
Admin Vista Posted January 4, 2015 Admin Report Posted January 4, 2015 I am very surprised more people aren't making noise about the DVLA's new policy of cancelling and refunding road tax when a vehicle is sold. Their new policy means that they get paid twice for the same month each time a car changes hands as they will only refund the seller for complete months remaining, but charge the buyer from the beginning of the month of the sale. And their response when asked why they will not refund for individual days (I quote): @DVLAgovuk: @Old_Skool_Ford Issuing partial months refunds would result in complex admin, the costs of which would ultimately be borne by the taxpayer. I fail to see how it would involve complex admin, as far as I understand it the whole process is automated!
banarama Posted January 4, 2015 Report Posted January 4, 2015 see they not stupid lol , got to get the money back for all the tax exempt vechicles, so up it goes for daily drivers

How do you think I feel Scott buying and selling,if I tax something and sell it the next week I loose the tax as it has to be registered to me to claim it back and if I send v5 off then know one wants it without v5,I can sorn it but that's pointless aswell win win for dvla

Definitely a lot more noise needs to be made about this!
GJUK Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 My 6.7 litre Dodge dart is Tax free. It does 7MPG 2
RIKB80 Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 20 quid a year mine! think that's quite reasonable. saying that it is sinfully slow and would probably fit in the boot of my wifes/family car, but it gets me to work and back and means the missis has plenty of leg space for the kids when they're all off spending the money I'm sat at work earning. Saying that hers is 175 quid a year
skeeter Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 On the other hand, if you can afford to own and run a high band VED car the tax is only a very small proportion of the overall costs. S
Admin Vista Posted January 25, 2015 Admin Report Posted January 25, 2015 On the other hand, if you can afford to own and run a high band VED car the tax is only a very small proportion of the overall costs. S That only holds true when said cars are new or near new though. As they age and their value becomes less, the affluent who bought them new aren't interested in them anymore. The tax on them then becomes a very significant percentage of their value and the cars eventually become unsellable and are therefore scrap long before they're life expired........which completely defeats the objective of making cars greener through punitive taxation. After all, the most pollution intensive part of a car's life is its original construction....allegedly. 1
Danish Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 On the other hand, if you can afford to own and run a high band VED car the tax is only a very small proportion of the overall costs. S You're right about that for new cars, but not older ones and the high VED is going to mean some real classics are scrapped because no one wants to pay the road tax on them I bought a very nice Jaguar XJ8 for £1500, and usually only use it once or twice each week as it only gets 20mpg. It happens I found a 2000 model which has £240 road tax, but a slightly newer one would be something like £500 which would be a large amount of the overall costs.
skeeter Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 £500 on an XJ8 is like 3 or 4 tanks of fuel spread over year.... you really believe people cant/wont pay that? I am not sure I agree. S
SmokeEm Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 I for one couldn't afford to pay £500 a year in tax for a car I use daily. Not when buying something slightly older or smaller means only £230
