Looking at that CarWow website makes interesting reading. In fact if I had waited until next year (after 1st Apr), instead of paying £210 per year after the first year, I would be paying £140 for a CO2 of 170. :?
So mine would actually go down!
Instead, I'll be stuck paying £210 :evil: .........that's really fair.....NOT!
Basically, any car costing less than £40,000 will pay a standard rate of £140 after the first year (exluding electric cars who are exempt), but the first years tax will vary greatly depending on the cars CO2 grouping.
Doing another piece of calculation:
If I keep my present car for 10 years, the total tax paid would be,
£300 for the first year, then £210 for the next 9 years.....................total £2190
If I'd bought after 1st Apr 2017, the total tax paid would be,
£500 for the first year, then £140 for the next 9 years.....................total £1760
