Just a quick note

I have noticed that the car tax is going up 1st april to £205 for the year a rise of £15
this is for engine size car tax so with this in mind i have just taxed mine for the year should if the weather is ok get a run out this weekend in the car

i wonder what we get for the extra £15?

DRC INDY 7 - 2/3/10 at 08:41 PM

Bugger all but im on a win win for a change ive saved the £15 by getting it a month early


plus when my tin top tax is due instead of £120 for the year its come down to £90

£45 saving cheers Gordon

I'm sure that there were only two options when I taxed my kit for the first time last year. Is this because it's a Q and therefore considered to be before 2001 for emissions?

What do we get for the extra £15?

Potholes filled only to break up after a week, speed limits lowered in places where there are no houses, more speed cameras and an increase in the price of fuel

All kit cars, regardless of whether they are Q, age-related or new, are PLG category like pre-2001 vehicles (2 bands only) as there is no way of obtaining a CO2 (g/km) figure.

Aghhhh the joys of having a tax exempt car


No tax, no emissions test... no hassle

How is tax calculated if you buy a kit car as a turnkey car or a simillar type of low volume car? If the answer is the same, how many cars have to be built to use the new style as I was under the impression Monaros were under the low volume rules so are they on the old system?
