You don't pay Road Tax, it was abolished in 1937, you pay VED (Vehicle Excise Duty) which is essentially a pollution tax. Roads are paid from Council Tax and Motorways are paid from the general taxation pot.
@EL JAY and since 2017 it appears that second owners only pay a fixed amount up to £40k cars. How that relates to emissions is beyond me. Someone with an older, cleaner car could pay more. They want us all in EVs, or a least in brand new cars. I don't know about you, but I resent being coerced into making my life choices. This is supposed to be a free country!
Road tax explained: What's wrong is paying any "car tax" at all. As a general guide people should agree to pay between 7-10 years on average, then cease paying and keep driving. That is about enough to ensure if your local council / Gov were utilizing the money properly they had enough to ensure the local area was being looked after (which it often isn't, thus further justifying not paying road tax.)
Why are cars and motorhomes with a list price of over £40,000 when they were new subject to an extra supplementary tax on top of the standard tax rate for 5 years from the second time they are taxed?
Is this still relevant in 2022 since the Gov website states the changes to VED for new vehicles from April 2017 only apply a 1st year rate then looks like it reverts to only £140 from year 2
I think £140 tax is terrible, maybe for a big gas guzzler its cheap, but for a economical small car, its shocking. The government really have shot them selves in the foot, and its the car industry and motorists will end up paying the price!
Hi, I have couple of questions regarding UK road tax: a) What if I buy a 3-year old used car (newly priced at £55,000) for £33,000? Will I still have to pay the premium rate for next 3 years? b) If the above mentioned car was an e-hybrid version and registered in March 2017, will I pay road tax according to the previous system? Which is zero because it's emission rate is less than 100g/kg! Sounds too good to be true! Thanks in advance.
The premium price car tax is for the 2nd to the 6th year period of the owner ship of the vehicle if your car is more than £40k. (Doesnt matter if your car is 3 years old) ie. 67 reg and onwards is following the same tax system as a 20/70 reg vehicle. The reason why it's from 2nd to the 6th year is beacuse there is a hefty car tax on the vehicles very first (initial) registration. If the car your buying is registered for the first time before April 2017 then you will follow the old system of £0 £20 £30.. etc car tax band. Hope this explanation is what you needed.
I must add it doesnt matter if your car is hybrid or plug in hybrid. Even if its emitting 1 gram!!! of co2 it will be the same as a diesel or a petrol (£10 cheaper) in the same system introduced from the April 2017
I would like to receive a partial road tax refund from the DVLA. The reason - you have reduced the amount of roads I can actually utilise, you have spent thousands of pounds producing cycle lanes that nobody uses and further reduces my ability to utilise the roads . You have managed with outstanding incompetence to turn the entire bloody area into a car park That no doubt helps with a clean air policy. Moreover the roads that you have kindly left for me to utilise are like an open cast mining area. I could lose the whole bloody car down some of the potholes.
🤣🤣 I did a reverse Google translate on this one ha ha ha, and now, I hope this makes sense to everyone: "Before the [petrol/diesel] car engine, water is/was not accepted by the industry, after [afterwards] you want to put the road tax on the fuel [emissions] ????

@EL JAY Except it does and is directly linked to the vehicles emissions, electric viecles pay zero.
@@LupusRides except it isn't. My car has a petrol engine and it attracts zero.
