Has anyone heard about the new car tax proposals the government are talking about?
I saw an article in Autocar magazine that the industry is hitting out against the new proposals.
Proposals are that anything over 255 g/km CO2 will pay £2000 per year!!!

My "little" 2007 2.7 TDV6 is 265 g/km in the book!!!

I'm crapping myself.....surely this can't be allowed?

Gaz I was born with a photographic memory. Shame it didn't develop!

That's what happens when you read "posh" magazines.  2023 P440e SE Dynamic on order -cancelled

2022 HSE Dynamic P400e

2017 Discovery 3.0 HSE Silicon Silver Nimbus interior and a few extra toys SOLD

2013 HSE Black, Orkney Grey, Ebony Seats and Ivory Interior SOLD

2006 HSE

Plus a few other cars inbetween!

It's for vehicle registered after April 2017 but it's also ONLY for the first year. After the first year there is a flat rate of £140 for all cars.


First year rate
0 £0 £0
1-50 £10
51-75 £25
76-90 £100
91-100 £120
101-110 £140
111-130 £160
131-150 £200
151-170 £500
171-190 £800
191-225 £1,200
226-255 £1,700
Over 255 £2,000
Cars above £40,000 pay £310 annual supplement for five years

So after the first year the rate is £140 for all cars unless the car new was over £40000 in which case it will carry a £310 excess for 5 years.

.....oh thank god for that!
I skimmed through it during having a heart attack and attending a nosebleed!!...lol

Thanks lads! I was born with a photographic memory. Shame it didn't develop!

In the words of the virgin Mary !!  2007, HSE, Cairnes Blue, Factory tints, Love it !!!

high level of car sales for march 2017 then

I think the Tax for a £40000 car is frankly a bit insulting. It is basically saying, if you can afford nice things we want more money from you.

An when someone buys its used after 3 years for £25k it will have this ridiculous tax burden.

A three year old car will have the £310pa supplement for the next two years. It'll still be cheaper than my TDV8 is now £505 this year.

It's good old "politics of envy" dressed up a environmentalism. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

The government said most people will pay £145 pa on the new system but this will hit almost every LR buyer as most are over £40k

Well done to the government for putting another obstacle in front of a company that employs 1000s and one of the few success stories our economy has had for many years

Idiots

Still I have to applaud the stroke of genius to impose an environmental tax in year 1 and a wealth tax for the next 4 years  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

Unfortunately/fortunately the wealthy will not protest in the central London and smash up banks/government buildings to make a point. Charge a wealthy person an extra £300 a year they won't mind. Take £30 a year off a benefits claimant they will bring the house down.
