Tax + C02

[ShakeyC]

Think i will get me a new A ripped for asking this but i will anyway
With car tax not 100% sure what is based on but if X car has a considerably lower C02 during its MOT and is on MOT cert than whats qouted on V11 is there a way of getting into a lower tax band/group to pay less tax?

Example if car X on V11 states X car has 200 g/km and but X car actually puts out 100g/km as detailed on Mot should i still pay XXX amount as other cars of similar group?

I would say no as the government want you for every penny they can get...

[touringandy]

you have a big engine you pay the tax the only ways of getting ye money back from govt
is to go on gas then theyll bump that up to if you want the luxury of owning these bigger engines dont moan when you have to pay bigger taxation bills on them .

sounds harsh but dont mean that nastily thats the govt for ye, a no the cleaner it is its cheaper tax but it aint no 1.0 little town car is it ,to them its a lump !! and they want are dosh!

In theory you caould re-submit via the SVA procedure to have the taxation class changed, whether in practice this is possible( depends whether the govt will allow a legal tax dodge... ) , conatact your local VOSA office and see what they say ( useless twats usually )

O/T we'll have some goodies late in the week dude

hi,im a tester.if you look on your emissions sheet you will see co2 measured in ppm.this stands for parts per million.you are asking about g/km.this is grammes per kilometer.different units,sorry.nice idea though

[dave525]

ps,its all balls anyway.the latest model bmw 118d is only 35quid per year,so is the corsa 1300d.deisels put out less than petrols now would you believe.

If you fill out enough forms, I think you can get something like a £5 reduction on a LPG converted vehicle!

Will ask VOSA officers they are forever pulling me up, usually same dayglo raver that pulls me up too
Any excuse to pay less tax and stuff one up gov!

Re Ant, really looking forward to it mate!

Any excuse to pay less tax and stuff one up gov!

best way for that is to torch the nearest gatso.and the furthest away gatso. then all the gatso's inbetween.

[josh-hocking]

surely not!! do you know how tight the goverment are!!

[ShakeyC]

Fuzzy somebody beaten me to it along M25/A2 pikeys firebombed all the gatso and knocked over the specs cameras for couple mile stretch i try to take advantage then lucky i noticed flaming van-cam on the bridge Josh i know how tight the gov are and ripping us off i pay whats fair but why do i get classed into a high band of emmissions when i clearly do not emit that much gass (from my car)
