Quick question on LPG conversion on my Merc

[gtz102]

Just had my Merc converted to LPG.

Now, for my Road tax do I now pay less?

If so, if I am right, before my car did about 238g/km and I was paying £205 for road tax 12 months.

Now it does 151g/km so this mean I pay £120? as according to this http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring...le/DG_10012524

(alternative fuel car)

Is that correct?

I'd give people a little bit longer to respond, as the forum went down just after you posted the original question and has only just started working again

e.g.


Vehicle Excise Duty

For cars registered after 1st March 2001, car/road tax, or Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), is charged according to a vehicle's carbon dioxide and fuel type. CO2 figures are submitted by the vehicle manufacturer and recorded on the vehicle logbook. A vehicle manufacturer will register the lower figure for their LPG cars. No changes after registration are permitted even if the car is subsequently converted to run on LPG.

However, for those cars registered after 2001and converted to run on LPG, owners who submit the appropriate documentation (e.g. LPGA conversion certificate - click here for details) to the DVLA can request that the taxation class is changed to 'Alternative Fuel Car' and will then be eligible for a standard reduction on VED.

Have a look at the DVLA website www.dvla.gov.uk/newved.htm for more information on how vehicles are banded according to their emissions, and the VED rates applied.
