UK car tax

[GAX857W]

How are the new car tx changes going to affect us? anyone know.

My R56 doesn't seem to be the most fuel economical car on the planet. No I dont thrash it senseless

[Mosposco]

I think it's still related to CO2 emissions not economy, but I'm not sure what the new banding will be

[GAX857W]

How is the cooper on emmisions?

[Mosposco]

I can't post a link to whatgreencar.com, but it's only beaten by things like the Subaru Justy and Kia Picanto - fancy driving one of those?

The Beeb has a handy chart:

BBC NEWS | Special Reports | 629 | 629 | New car tax rates for 2009

And you can search by car model here:

VCAcarfueldata.org.uk - Database Search

If you think an R56 is poor, try an R53 Cooper S.

Tax on my JCW goes to £300 next year and £310 in 2010.

How much longer are "the population" going to put up with this?

[M.O.S]

Try parkers for the rates based on models and age - tells you for ANY car:

Road tax - Parker's

You'll have to change it to your model, but this will tell you what it will be until about 2010.

Hope could be out there, I thought it was under discussion of trashing the planned "Green taxed brigade" increase?

[M.O.S]

I do hope it gets destroyed! If you think about it, road tax should be based on weight - a cooper does no more damage than a one to a road - road tax is to maintain roads yes! So therefore, a weight system would be far superior!

Just shows how stupid this government is to be honest!!!!

Mine's just cost me £66.00 for a 1.2 litre car; I think it's not too bad. I'm more upset at the rising fuel costs
