The prices change. Although that sounds expensive for that engine size on that year, you sure it wasn't 12 months?

i was insuring a 1.8 astra cdx an it was costing me 80 quid more than my corsa fully declared with a xe in with 3 points.
i pay £700 tpf&t with 6 points 3 yrs no claims and im 21 so its not really that much more expensive and i wont get my ass handed to me in court if i crash

Ive had a corsa b with 1.8 conversion not declaired, i wrote it off and insurance still paid out, didnt check engine or anything, last car i done a 1.6 conversion in, got pulled over, checked engine, didnt know the diffence of new vs old engine.... £2200 insurance on a 1.2 corsa b is enough without declaring the conversion, insurance is a rip off these days, they must just make up a number and give them it as a quote

no, deffo £99 for 6 months, think it was about £186 or somewhere around that for the year
i looked at that info when i bought it, as i went from a 1.2 16v b to that 1.4 16v astra g and thought what tax difference is it, "oh no difference" so i thought
went to tax it at the post office and ended up having an argument with the guy. apparently it is

You MUST have been charged wrongly then.
Those Rates are much closer to the past >1549cc Rates than the below 1549cc rates...

You most likely wouldn't.
It'd take some effort to try - receipt for the tax at that price, the logbook proving it was eligible for a differing rate, the VED rates for that period of time, and you would have to go direct to the DVLA over it.

sold that car about 2 month ago. all i have is the congrats yours no longer the keeper of form...
the head gasket had gone and was using water. wasn't a bad motor apart from that, i was only the 3rd owner
something said about pre 2001 or something? it was produced in 1999 but wasn't 1st regd til dec 2001 if that makes a difference?
if i remember rightly the previous tax disc had £99 on it for 6 month aswell
could never find out if it was z14xe or x14xe as the change over was around 99-01 and there was a difference in h.gasket material

Yes it does make a difference, as the picture above shows - different rates for Vehicles registered from 01/03/2001
If you had said that in the first place though, instead of just saying;

Tax has gone up from the prices spoken about in this thread.
Pre 2001 (so all Corsa B's) 1549cc and under = £130 for the year, ~£70 for 6 months
Pre 2001 1549cc and over £215 for a year, £118.75 for 6 months (I've just paid this rate for a years tax on the Mazda)
Post 2001 cars are sorted into 13odd bands, all with different prices. For example, the Alfa falls into band D, ~£95 for the year or ~£50 for 6 months

Cutoff date is the 1st March 2001, when Y reg came out. So it's Y reg or later.
If yours was registered when you're saying it'll be an X plate or your car is a ringer.
Declaire it as well.

Ian linked the current prices, which were questioned, hence the discussion with ref to past prices...
