Title: Another Road Tax Question
Post by: spyke_boi on April 09, 2007, 01:31:56

Just did a DVLA check on my Freelander....

Vehicle Excise Duty Rate for vehicle    
6 Months Rate  Ã‚£112.75  
12 Months Rate  Ã‚£205.00

But as i see it, the freelander is a Band G vehicle??

Anyone got any ideas?

What is it? ... a TD4?

As I understand it, this is how it works ......................

Band "F" = 186-225 CO2 per Km

Band "G" = 226+ CO2 per km.

The official figure for a TD4 Freelander is 205 CO2 per Km, so it's Band "F", and should be £205 (1 year).

Scrub that ... I've been misinformed .... CO2 emmission figures for Freelanders are (according to SMMT):

1.8 :  248 CO2/Km

TD4 : 240 CO2/Km

This places them both firmly in band "G" BUT as I understand it, the £300 tax rate this year, rising to £400 next applies to cars registered after 23/03/2006.

Vehicles registered between 03/2001 and 23/03/2006 should (I hope  :?  )remain, as Bob696 said in Band "F" (£205).

Freelanders registered before March 2001 should, I believe, be paying £180.

Edit:  Just found this site, which appears to offer a fairly definitive explanation ...

So let me get this right - a 1.8 petrol Freeby is dearer for road tax than my 4.6 Rangie ???  :shock:
Where's the sense in that then !!!!!!  :?

Yeah, well ... since when does logic enter the equation  :?

I still think they should dispense with road tax and bump up fuel prices, but what would I know!

Anyway, It would seem that if your rangie was registered before March 2001, you'll be stung for £180. If it was registered between march 2001 and 23/03/2006, you'll pay £205, and if it was registered after 23/03/2006, you'll pay £300 this year, rising to £400 next!

Don't quote me on any of this, though - I'm as much in the dark as everyone else!!

TDi renewal came through at £175, not £180 as I thought :?  shame you can't hold them to that.

I heard today something about a new band for older cars above 2500cc, but it was only hearsay.  Anyone know about it?

I've heard a whisper about that but nothing on paper it does make you wonder what the scumbags are plotting next?

A man after my own heart. Tax on fuel means no tax dodgers.
