If I'm reading this correctly, buy your wrx/sti before April or you'll be paying £1700 a year tax!

Oh yeah, if your rich like buy a car that's £40k+ it's £450 for the first 5 years then £140 flat rate (I think)

 

Interesting, but only 1700 (up from 870) for first year then 140 a year thereafter.

so a pre-reg wrx-sti with the first year tax paid would only be 140 quid a year to tax instead of current 460.

 

Wow it didn't take them long to start hitting the people with zero emissions cars.it was the same when everyone went to diesels they just pumped diesel fuel prices higher than petrol. Then they advise you to buy green cars but then yet again they sting you. It's cheaper to just drive about and get police fines it's a joke this country.

 

I think it's much fairer for everyone to pay same flat rate, £140 per year seems fair pity they don't apply this to older vehicles as well

 

Wow! That crv tax hike is shocking

 

Yep I did read it wrong but interesting stuff, your right about the older cars not everyone can afford a new car

 

Come on guys, we are a bit slow in this weather

But you'll benefit 10 years or so down the road when the car is affordable and so is the tax

 

Thats good news, deseials are bad for the envioment worse than petrol cars, yet they seem to get lower tax bracket, very odd setup, flat rate of £140 will stop all the that. So does that mean if you buy a new STI you will only pay £140 a year?

 

I'm paying 1200 euro a year in emissions the robbing *****

 

No.

 

Why not?


The first year will be expensive, but £140 a year after that

 

Cost effective if you keep the car for at least 5 years (452 a year) or wait and buy at 1 year old

 

This raises a question, as far as I know the first years tax is not refundable so what happens under new rules??

Say you buy a dealer pre-reg one month old, what happens to first year tax??

 

 

 

Sorry dad

 

Or is £140 for all cars from 2017? Can't see it being that. Sounds like it's just for new cars.

 

Its never been retro-active in the past, so I am pretty sure for new cars second year on. (After 1st year cost.)

 

Yeah your right there. Gutted. Can see the price of the hatch Impreza coming down loads.

 

If my M2 doesn't arrive before March 32st It's £800 for the 1st year

 

So it's a leep year next year too?

 

Imagine how gutted you'll be if it arrives on the 33rd March and you miss the cheaper rate by one day!

 

You should be alright mate because there's only 31 days in March 😂😂😂

 

 

But after BREXIT there will be 365 days in March

 

Smart *****

 

Yep, even 2015/2016 models will be less desirable than a 2017 tax bracket one, similar to the blob and hawk/hatch, but tax difference is even bigger
