These brackets have been known about for a while now.
As above and anywhere you find out about tax, pre 2001 is either above or below 1.6, nothing to do with co2.
£125 I think I am, which although I'd rather not pay is considerably better than £400.

Under 1600cc £125 a year
Over 1600cc £205 a year
It's stupid that pre-registered 2001 tax, if you drive a 1.6 corsa you get charged the same amount as someone with a twin turbo supra...

 £205 a year. Thats a lot less than others but thats a rediculous amount of difference between a 1.4 at £125 and a 1.6 for £205. Is there nothing as a nation we could do to try and get this reduced? I know we still have to pay tax but with this and the planned petrol rise is there nothing we can do? The french closed ports and dumped stuff and burnt stuff and that seemed to work

You will always get that argument with any boundary though, just after 1.6L engines tend to be a bit thirstier and more powerful

Its a fairly simple scheme called voting.
Pre 2001 V8 is looking more and more tempting all the time.
Or a truck. The CS wagon is £160 per year.

with the financial deficit this country faces, expect the costs to keep going up!
and yeah, put the £300 saved towards petrol

Truck tax is staying the same for April 2010.
Pre 2001 might do but they don't want to be too unfair to people driving sensible pre 2001 1.6 cars so it'll never go bonkers like the modern stuff.

Voting wont solve anything though. We are in such a mess financially as a nation that we are going to be paying for it for the next 20years atleast and all the politicians seem to do is to think raising taxes will solve it. Apart from the fact they earn £60k plus per year tax free and then claim on top of that when they could just live like normal people and either have the wages or claims not both, at which point would free up millions per year.
Still cant believe that something that weighs over 10 times my car, does about 10mpg less, isnt used as a personal vehicle E.g. Commuting, family useage, etc. Somehow comes out less than mine by £45 quid! Is that tax price for a commercial vehicle or private useage HGV? E.g. is it for horse boxes etc that are only used rarely or is it for all vehicles of the same size no matter the use?

I dont agree with the £0 road tax for some cars, at the end of the day they still use the roads, etc. The whole system is wrong.

Whats also stupid is when you have cars that are the same pre and post 2001. For example a 2.2 vx220 registered feb 2001 will cost you £205, if its a month younger it will cost you £245, its exactly the same fucking car

But if they choose a date, they choose a date. They can't say Feb 2001, or March, April or May depending on when you car model was replaced

I'm looking forward to it tbh. My tax goes down from £35 per year to £30 
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

These no-stop rises put me off getting a weekend car though, for example a 2.0 corsa... Why do I wanna pay £205 tax for a car I wanna use for max 2k a year?

what i don't get, is they base tax on emissions, whatabout all the other damage to roads caused by using them?
so if everyone gets a car with no emissions will we have no one contributing road tax and even shitter roads?

how do they work out that a car with higher emission s warrants more road tax :-s surely it is just 'car emissions tax'?
i would have thought a heavier car would do more damage to the roads than one that used more fuel? therefore roadtax should be based on weight of the car. we already pay enough tax on fuel, nevermind having to pay more for how much fuel it uses .
yet all of the roads round here are absolute dog sh**e.
makes me angry does anyone else ever get the proper urge to drive down to london in a massive convoy, attach a hose to each cars exhaust, feed it into parliaments door, and let them choke on the fumes they're taxing us for
