What's the new tax cost for LCR

[Number86]

Hey!

Done the standard search, came up with 2 threads...

Never having owned a turbo car, how is this classed for road tax, and how badly will we be stung when the new tax prices come into effect?

The government. Stitching up drivers for the new millennium!

 

[Eat The Rich]

Not looked into it but guessed it'd fall into the £205/year category... hope it's not that much more though cause mines due at the end of the month!

 

[Number86]

Mine too! 205 is ok though. Not like 400 odd for a 4x4. 300% increase in parking for them in Richmond too!. Feckers!

 

[Eat The Rich]

Yeah I think I was paying £190 or something like that on my Type R... I think RX8's are in the £300 category now, glad I didn't get one of those!

 

[Psymonkee]

iirc the new 300/400 rates only apply to new cars registered from the 1st Apirl 2007

Buy used = winner

Or just buy something equally fun with < 225g/km of CO2 emmissions

£115 for leon frtdi.. just got mine last week..

 

[ChrisUK]

Has that gone up then ? I think I paid £110 in March

 

[CHR15B]

Looks like it has gone up a fiver.

it's 200 quid for cars below 225co2/km, cupra is 209 not sure what lcr is

 

[Al_G]

What co2/km emissions do R's pump out?

 

[Colonelk]

R's are £205

Just bought it last week !

 

[Fidge]

Thats gone up £15 from last year then for my cupra... but then they've knocked off £15 for my diesel Arosa so I'm no better or worse off!

 

[Alba77]

Aye, leon frtdi went up a £5..

 

[RobM]

Glad I started buying the car tax savings stamps a while back then, means it's less money to find from somewhere when the time comes

 

[RikH]

was 190 for my LC
so now 195

its only the higest band that are getting totally mutalated with 400+

 

[RobM]

Considering the state of the roads around here, I'd say £205 could be considered a mullering too!

 

[panholio]

An R knocks out 211g/km

 

[traumapat]

my boss has just bought an rx 8. 300 year 1... 400 after! hes gutted.


does anybody know how the cars are classed for this.?

as in are the cars classed by the emissions they produce when first built at the factory?

or will the yearly mot emissions check be used?

if its the latter then wont our remaps and mods attact higher fees?
