Can someone please shed some light on my querie!

Just recieved my tax reminder/renewal slip today in the post,upon opening said reminder.it turns out that my car tax renewal cost will be £300 for 12 months

however,searching on the link below it states-

Road tax - Parker's

not complaining guys,in fact quite the opposite,but i was led to believe that 2007 sti's would be hit with the 400 plus tax costs

cheers marcus

 

THat's next year the £400 plus.

Mine will be £414!!!

A quick search came up with the following :

The cost of vehicle tax for cars, motorcycles, light goods vehicles and trade licences : Directgov - Motoring

Hope this helps

 

so

the above link does state £400 from the 13th of march 2008

marcus

 

just had my reminder today aswell £99.00 for six months.

 

112 quid for six months here! Same as always - still too much.

 

£300

i was also expecting £400 for a 07 wrx link does say cars taxed from 13th march 08

how much betting we'll get another renewal form before the 15th with the new tax price

 

Regardless of what the reminder says,your tax will be £400 for 12 months and £220 for six.

Just had to pay mine

 

says £300 on the renewal form post office then asks for £400

 

yup!

 

so

how do they get away with that then buddy ?????????

have they never heard of trading standard's....oh sorry my bad,trading standards only applies to companies who opperate within the law,not change it whenever they feel like

They probably get away with it due to the bit printed on it that says something along the lines of "please note prices correct at time of printing, if these change in the budget then you will have to pay the revised rate" - I got mine through yesterday and this was printed, in red, on the front of the form.

 

I had this for the car tax on my wifes car - according to the Post Office this happens basically the forms are printed well in adavance of the renewal and so can quickly become out of date. As others have stated, unfortunately you will be ripped off for the full price when you go to purchase the tax.

 

got my reminder last week at £99, turns out it was £101.75 :O

 

I taxed my 55 plate sti last week and paid £210 for 12 months

 

my seven and half tonner at work is £167 FOR 12 MONTHS

 

Got mine through today, decided to phone up and try to pay the 6 month tax, got quoted a different amount so spent the next 30 minutes arguing about incorrect prices with me saying stuff like trading standards etc so getting some kind of letter through the post explaining the changes - lets see what they say.

 

mine was £205 for 12 months back in january . Thats on a 03 wrx.

Next year it goes up in march so hopefully it will be £205 next january!!!???

Then it goes up again the year after.

 

£115 for 12 months for me. That's one hundred and fifteen Pounds . English Pounds . One hundred and fifteen of them

 

Try doing it online, right up to the point of paying. That will give you the most up to date price.

Don't even need a reminder, just your v5 number and reg
