BristolLee Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Good shout Arizona. Got my renewal notice yesterday, shall be spending a little bit more and getting 6 months in order to break up the car spend slightly throughout the year. That's still £135 or so though. A full year on a Gen 7 (190) is £245 thanks to it producing 201 carbons, 1 less little blighter would have meant £205 instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was considering waiting till payday to do it, but might as well get it done now by the sound of it! Cheers Arizona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arizona Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Motorists whose car tax is up at the end of this month should renew before next week's Budget to ensure their rates don't rise. If the Chancellor decides to hike prices in the Budget, on Wednesday 21 March, motorists will pay more. But anyone who buys before that date is guaranteed to pay current rates which are anything from zero to £460 a year, depending on your car's fuel type and CO2 emissions. For example, a 2007-registered Volkswagen Golf Estate with 160g/KM emissions falls under Band G, and will cost £165/year to tax now. You cannot pay your tax this month if it expires any later than 31 March, as you can only renew from the 5th of the month in which it expires. It is unclear whether or not vehicle duty will rise in the Budget, though there is no harm in paying early, just in case. There is a chance it could fall, of course, especially for 'greener' cars. In addition, cigarette and alcohol duty could go up in the Budget, so buying early could stave off hikes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
