Damn, why is road tax so much these days? Did you know that the majority of it doesn't even go on the roads?

Dazwan must have paid commisssion on his tax disc as it hasn't got that high yet.

Jimland.

Your tax will be £165 for 12 months (£90.75 for 6 months).

If you want this confirmed, see dvla tax info

Got an interesting point on this.

I have a 1.8 Avensis as does my Dad - mine is 2001 and his is a year newer. They are exactly the same except his is automatic.

He pays more road tax than me ! His auto just pushes the emissions into the next bracket for payment.

I'm not sure when the emissions level is used to determine tax payable - I think with older cars it's just purely on engine size (?)

SMW, its all in my link.

Before March 2001 the tax is calculated on engine size.

Its annoying that a £70k car has a lower tax charge per year than my car :( (I sort out company cars at work)

Jimlad, you should get a letter thru the post telling you what to do.

when tho ?? Do I need this letter to get a new disc ??

I need to get a new one by the end of the month.. so far... no letter.

In my experience the letter has come later in the month (last 2 weeks or the month), so give it at least another week before worrying. Last time I paid for tax I never got a letter and went to the post office with all my 'bits'.

This is my theory: I reckon that you only get a letter if you taxed the car last time it was paid, as every time I have bought a new car I have never received a letter the first time my tax was due, but I have every time after that.
