road tax rises only affect cars registered 2001 and after.

But aint it for 4x4s only :question :question

Its based on engine cc.

Sadly not. It's based on CO₂ emissions.  

ohh, its gone the same way as company cars then and co2.

Which is bad news for Omega owners as Vauxhall's engines are very dirty.... and produce a lot of Co2!

Actaully quite good emissions for size and era...

Actually we found them appauling, when dads lease car was up for renew, it was all based on co2, and Vx, had some of the dirtiest lumps around

what were you comparing it with?

[tunnie]

mondeo 2.0 is around 180

bmw 520 is around 210

Laguna is around 175

V8 Jag was about the same as the 3.2 omega!

Vauxhall lumps are all above 220... 260 for the 2.5/6

285 for the 3.0/3.2

[VX1]

So to sum it up then.................

Only vehicles that are affected by the car tax increase are those that are registared on or after March 2001?

For cars registered before 1 March 2001 there are 2 bands. 1549cc and below and above 1549cc.

After this it's based on CO2 emissions and for cars registered after 23/03/06 there's an additional band.

Doesn't matter what type of vehicle it is. CO2 emissions is all that matters.

.. and is there any reason to think there won't be increases across the board?

I expected our Range Rover tax to have gone up when people were moaning about tax prices on 4 x 4's, but it didn't for the reason already said it was older than 2001 ish.... which does seem a little strange when i would have thought the emissions on an older car would have been greater than a newer one

Yes but the "increases for 4x4s" was media generated bull5hit. It was only ever based on CO2 and only for post-May 2006 cars.

The problem with older cars is that they were never rated for CO2 at type approval so, although it's obviously a guzzler, there's no fair way they can tax it. Don't upgrade it for a post-2006 one whatever you do!

My 02 DTi is £205 for the yr so i guess my Co2 must be good/better  
Until last year i had a 5.7 Trans-Am & that was responsible for all clobal warming, but the VLD was only £175
In my oppinion, it's all crap= just another excuse to TAX TAX TAX

Yep, thats about the size of it, I just miss the increase by a couple of months as my car was registered jan 01

[TheBoy]

yeah, this 4x4 was a government soundbite, and the governments bitch (the BBC) loyally repeated as often as possible.

As pointed out og TG, performance estate cars have similar emissions to performance 4x4s...

Really......When i had my Elite MOT the tester was very suprised the emissions were so good for a 11 year old car. :-?

Although ive no idea how they compare to other cars i was quite chuffed when he passed it with a clean bill of health. 8-)
