As i read it these apply to all cars first used after March 2001 Y reg and younger. Anything older than this do not have emmissions levels recorded and will be taxed at two levels 1,499cc or less will be £120 per annum, 1,550cc or more will be £200 per annum
For Example 262g Co 2/km as from 2009/2010 ved will be £425 per annum, from 2010/2011 £440 per annum and from 2010 the first years road rent will be an eye watering £950 one off for first registering.
Sorry for the cardiac post but this is how i read it, it looks like the agenda is to drive people off the road and onto the buses,trains pushbikes. What I would like answering is where all this extra money will be going?
So it looks like the 2L and 2.5L classics will be £200 a year, which is £15 more than we are paying at the moment. Not happy about any increase but £15 isn't too bad. As for going on the bus, I would like a realistic suggestion as to how I would do that with 200 boxes of shoes......
