It certainly does, think yourself lucky you don’t live in Ireland their tax rates are ridiculous, all ICE cars will be hit harder and harder over the next decade or so especially the higher polluters, then they will start on the hybrids and eventually the toxic battery cars, enjoy it while you can :driving:
 
Look on the bright side - if you had an M it would have been £600. :o

Then have a look at what it costs in Ireland. :lol:

Probably maginally faster than a 35i that hasn't been mapped. :P

And it's a price I'll pay for an N/A engine that sounds so great with a manual gearbox bolted to it. :D

That sounds interesting. :thumbsup:

Mine has Powerflow back-boxes. :D
 
I imagine it's plenty for the first 5 years as list price is over £40K - but I haven't really got the hang of tax rates for post 2017 cars. :roll:

Me too Mr Tidy. I think that is why I posted the question. I just got a vehicle tax reminder through the post for the wife's car. Zero pounds - though I still have to "tax it".

I only really looked at them last month when my sister bought a 2018 Fiat 500 Twinair.

Pre 2017 tax would have been free as emissions are below 100g/km, but post 2017 it's £155 a year. She doesn't mind though as it's £100 a year cheaper than the R50 Mini Cooper it replaced!

And because she lives in a London Borough with permit parking, her permit is cheaper because the price takes emissions into account - just lucky I don't live there with my MC and a 330i. :lol:
 
This post has just reminded me to fork out some hard earned cash for my car. £340 a year is a lot considering the government has forced many of us to park our cars and stay at home. Last year I did 50% less Miles (and less pollution) and this year not even done 10% yet still the same tax.
Personally I think it should all be put on fuel; the more you drive, the more you pollute, the more you pay.
This will never change to be honest, so just getting it off my chest. :|

Sounds far to sensible for any government to implement.
 
Yep, until recently had two cars plus my S1000R Sport, all registered to me and I'm the only one that drove/rode them, yet I still had to pay 3 sets of VED.
