Duncan_P Site Supporter Registered: 09/11/09 Posts: 8421 Loc: Wincanton, Somerset	I guy I used to work with has just ordered a new and is adamant he doesn't have to pay any road tax because it has an eco boost engine. I tried telling him that it doesnt work like that. He said it one of the reasns why he bought it... Surely he's wrong??? _________________________ Flickr

ChrisCumbria Driving as Daily Registered: 26/06/05 Posts: 23932 Loc: Whitehaven, Cumbria	I've had a look at this and it's still less than 100g/km to qualify for zero road tax. I know Boris is cutting the threshold to be exempt for the congestion charge due to too many cars qualifying and it wouldn't surprise me if a similar thing happenned with road tax at some point. There is a lower rate for the first year of ownership for any car in Band D or below which means they pay no road tax for the first year. Band D is 130g/km and below so maybe he misread it as 128 rather than 138? _________________________

Oyvind Site Supporter Registered: 07/07/08 Posts: 793 Loc: Norway	Here in Norway you pay the same amount regardless of driving a little Fiesta or a big v8 car. around 300£ a year. For diesel cars without an particle filter it is 350£. Think that's more fair. Even though it's too expensive and a lot of the money goes to other things than roads/transportation. Not right to pay extra for schools and stuff because you're driving a car. How is this in Britain? What do they use the road tax money on?

ChrisCumbria Driving as Daily Registered: 26/06/05 Posts: 23932 Loc: Whitehaven, Cumbria	Quote: i always thought tax was more expensive for the first year It all depends. For the higher bands it is - in some cases much higher! - but for the lowest bands you get it free for the first year. _________________________

Dan_The_Man Site Supporter Registered: 20/10/08 Posts: 7389 Loc: Eaton Bray, Dunstable	But you dont mind when every road in holland is as so well looked after, didnt find anything to moan about whilst driving there last year Over here I look drunk everywhere as road tax is spent elsewhere, they keep going on that it will cost 400 million to repair all roads, then they moan theres 31 million cars on the road, most people spend more than 100 quid a year on tax it should pay for itself but the government are thick, its simple maths _________________________ Red Escort 1.6LX Then - Red Escort 1.4 Then - Silver Fiesta ST 170BHP Then - White Fiesta ST MR200+ Now - Mitsubishi Evo IV Forged 2.3 500BHP and Mondeo Mk3 2.0TDCI
