Really??
Thought the new Cupra pushes out 190 CO2 (g/km)
If so that puts in it "J" band making it £215 a year

So its first tax disc is £425, then it and the current Cupra are £235

bugger springs to mind!
The dealer normally fronts the bill of the first year's tax though don't they as part of the on the road price
Yes they do but the on the road price will go up to reflect this unless they agree to price freeze. like they have done with the VAT for those of us that ordered cars in Oct and are only just taking delivery.

Is it just me, or does it seem like the government are regretting their scrappage scheme and they're trying to get the money back with alternative methods? It is very specifically new cars, of which a certain percentage will have been based on the scrappage allowance.
Think about it, 2K for a scrapped car doesn't seem that much if you're paying £400 (or more) back for your first tax disc!!

This increase for cars with a high CO2 output has been in the pipeline for a couple of years now - in fact I believe that it was delayed by a year due to the recession.
The figures in post #6 are incorrect however - they are for alternative fuel source cars ie. LPG etc
The figures in post #7 also appear out of date.

It'll be £235 in april.
Car tax based on CO2 is the biggest con ever. More CO2 emisions = lower MPG = more tax paid from petrol. The jump above 225g/km is crazy aswell
(Was the bad thing about owning an RX8 )not too bad i suppose !!It'll be £235 in april.

but ive never thought about the fuel thing though !! use lots of fuel, so pay lots of tax. have higher emmision because of this, pay even more tax !! its a joke isnt it !!

Just renewed mine €614 for the pleasure of driving on S*1T roads.. will get over the shock soon as I get back behind the wheel though
That's madness - my car is still taxed and registered in NI not strictly sure how legal that is, but I'm only here for another 4 months.
yep a carbon based rate here almost breaks my heart especially when you know that 21% vat is on the top of the fuel cost as well €30 per week 52 weeks a year I feel I already pay the penance for the higher carbon footprint I'm sure there is more to come yet
And theres me considering chopping in my LCR for a S2000 (£425)...
Is the plan to increase the tax year by year? Wonder how much it'll be in 2011/12?
IMO the whole tax think is a joke. Why should I pay £425 to tax my car when I work from home and do 3000 - 5000 miles a year? An oil burner doing average mileage (12k pa) will be paying a lot less but pumping out a lot more [email protected] no doubt.
Also can some explain why the jump is so huge between 225 and 226 yet quite small between 226 and over 225. Makes me want to drive round in a hummer lol

It's because they first brought in the higher rate for all vehicles over 225, and obviously being the scummy government they are they would never lower
tax to make it more fair.
