How much do you pay for your Road TAX?

[Mercedes cozy]

Just noticed on my My ML320CDI its £400/year RIP OFF

 

[blondebier]

That bites...

Our A160 is £35/year.

 

[Dieselman]

How can you 'just notice' when there have been at least a Million threads about VED charges on this forum....

You'll be pleased to know Mrs Dm's went down to £115 under the new scheme...

But we knew it was going to as it was all well publicised for years in advance.

 

[wemorgan]

£185 for the CLK
£35 for the Smart ForTwo

 

[BTB 500]

All 3 of ours are around the £185 mark.

I think the Vito would be in the £400 per year bracket if it was a Viano.

 

[SLKFORTWO]

Mine's also £400 . But I knew I would have to pay extra for some serious performance. Our Meg CC is £210 so I reckon the extra £190 is worth it. But VED is a rip-off anyway and makes little sense. If I only clock up 6k miles a year in my SLK, why should I be penalised for so-called carbon emissions my car emits, when someone in a little bubble car doing say 20k a year is putting out a lot more exhaust into the atmosphere.

Also if I had bought a 4,5 Chimaera instead of the SLK, which, at one point I was seriously considering, then the VED is only £185 because it has never been assessed for CO2 emissions. The whole VED thing is irrational and like many other motoring based levies is just an easy way to fleece the motorist.

 

[mb240]

€1566/year

 

[Gucci]

Bit strange - my tax reminder has come through - it says £210 - errrm...surely that should be £400 now due to Mr Eyebrows

Remember, that £400 will help save the planet...

 

[BTB 500]

Also if I had bought a 4,5 Chimaera instead of the SLK, which, at one point I was seriously considering, then the VED is only £185 because it has never been assessed for CO2 emissions.

Yup same applies to my 5 litre SL.

No wonder there's an abundance of AMG 55 cars for sale over there! I only pay £185 for the SL600 and £210 for the E55. The Mitsubishi L200 is only £120!

 

[Mr Jadefox]

Those Ireland figures should make people realise how well off they are!

 

[gbjeppm]

Bit strange - my tax reminder has come through - it says £210 - errrm...surely that should be £400 now due to Mr Eyebrows

No its correct, he delayed it

See here

Your car and my ML500 are in Band K, which is as follows.

Band K includes cars that have a CO2 figure over 225g/km but were registered before 23 March 2006. These cars will stay in band K. Therefore £215 after May, and £245 next year.

 

[219]

£185 for the 500SEL (W126) , both my 1957 Ponton and 1963 Fintail are EXEMPT

 

[Howard]

Think mine is £215 ?

2001 CLK430

 

[A210AMG]

This is why I'm thinking about an ML55 now before we are taxed to death...

It will cost no more than my current car. I walk to work although use it twice during the week to do 40 miles (total). I do 6k to 7k a year. So a little eco box used every day and if new has had to be built is far worse than me keeping my already on the road car and using it so little


So my advice is if you do few miles get the biggest engined car you can and enjoy it while we can.


Those prices in Ireland make you think how lucky we are

 

[greggster]

£210 for my W211 E320cdi
£400 for my wifes Subaru Legacy 3.0R

 

[ackee911]

£185 for my 500 last time I bought it!
