HM Gov finally realised tax free cars are costing them too much in lost revenue. It was only a matter of time before someone had to bridge the gap.  405 AB exec seats Baltic and Cirrus

Remember it's easier to get forgiveness than permission!

Gone in order:

93 Classic hard dash Plymouth Blue

I was confused for a minute trying to understand what new Rugby Football Rules had to do with drivers.

So if I buy a 2012 registered 5.0 s/c L322, which is what I'm looking for at the mo, from 2017 it costs me £140 per annum to tax. Best I get one found then, before the price goes up!

I was with oldcro & expecting this to be a rugby related thread

I see the title has now changed from RFL to Road Fund Licence

As far as I am aware the rules only apply to cars that are registered in or after 2017, the new rules don't apply to cars that are already registered.

^wot he said, only applies to cars registered aged 2017, so current cars will still pay ££££ per annum for rfl.

Appears way forward is sub £40k sub 100g/km to avoid all future penalties.. Or drive an older car! There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

That is so complicated that I can't work out if it will encourage people to keep driving older (more polluting) cars, or go for a new one. Talk about over-engineering it.

Agreed... So much for saving the environment! More like filling the treasuries pockets!!!

For buyers who purchase a 2017+ "pre-loved" car in the future the max they will pay is £140 a year... This is great. Previously..

As long as it didn't cost over £40k, as they attract a levy of additional £310 extra tax per year for the first 5 years.
That's how I read it.

So the S/C L405 at 5 years old, in 2022 then. Yeah, great.

^ There are lots of people buying 5 year old cars.... Going forward, it's good to know road tax won't be an obstacle in buying one. Previously..
