I'm sure I read somewhere that road tax is going up for my 2004 zs 180 soon.
Can someone tell me where to find info about this please?
Particular interest is how much it's going to cost me and when the rise is happening.

Cheers guys

(ps. new pads and disks on the rear yesterday, what a mess the old ones were in - corroded and worn unevenly...)

ouch! I think it might be time for a change if that's the case! It's a shame I've spent so much on it - front and rear disks and pads, cambelt change/service.

lol yea problem is everyone has the same idea... seems there are more each week.
I know what you mean though its at the point where I have spent ?1600 on it in 6 months and I still love it but it just doesn't stop the thoughts of.. If I sell it now its still sort of worth something lol. But Im gonna stick to my guns I think and think of it this way.... its ?36 a month.. and its the only to think of it because to find anything close in age and pace and not a million miles on the clock for the ?2k I might get is gonna be hard..

* Band K includes cars that have a CO2 figure over 225g/km but were registered before 23 March 2006

Sorry, I'm a bit confused, the links there show the current situation, it is the impending doom that I'm more worried about? Any news articles or anything?

can you not read

Band K includes anything over 225g made before 2006 as stated in the quote posted earlier in the thread

* Band K includes cars that have a CO2 figure over 225g/km but were registered before 23 March 2006

which means if your Zs is a 2006 plate you will pay ?425 if not then its ?245

I'm not sure you understood my point there, the link shows a current situation about cars made before or after 2006. I think it's the fact that I can read that shows this fact (no need for the cat claws...)

Anyway, what I was asking is about the situation in 2011, not how much I would pay tomorrow.

From April 2010 was months ago, next year is my interest, so do I gather from this, that the rumours about it going up are false?

Untill the 2011 buget comes out no one knows what will happen but they can not double the tax on a car that is already registered but they could put it up another ?20 or so.
