It's all a money making scam, as it's always been. |

Was a shock when I realised this too. Best to pay it in one go than pay even more on the monthly. |

£600 is a bargain. Spain is at lease double that . |

Is this road tax the cost of registration or an additional charge?

It’s an additional charge based on emissions which is why older RR get hammered. Newer ones with much lower emissions still get hammered because they fixed that loop hole by adding extra tax until it’s 5 years old.

You pay the higher tax on the first registration based on emissions and then the premium for the next 5 renewals so effectively 6 years till the tax drops on 2017 and newer cars. 2012 tdv8 Westminster arrived Jan 19 gone Dec 23

UK road tax for me works out at the equivalent cost of 1/3 tank of fuel per month (Was nearer 1/4 a while back) i.e it's one of the cheapest aspects of L322 running costs |

I doubt that any EVs are on the road for free - if any of them ever were... unless funded to be on the road to push the fibs... EV running presently is more expensive than petrol or diesel, unless using a funded fleet car, and more and more taxes are being added to them and more will come in the very near future. The idea is to take away the freedom of driving from normal everyday tax-paying folk... Watch-out for the 15-min cities also... ![]() |

The only 'news' source that isn't talking about them is the MSM 'news' - this IS what certain cities and towns are trying to push... can't believe anyone would believe them to be tinfoil hat territory. THEY ARE talking openly about them - even though residents are protesting to stop them - but again the MSM won't cover these protest events, as they are not in their interests: ie Gates is funding them to keep their gobs shut!

Dont worry, it will double soon, as they attempt to remove the older cars from the road. It's all in the plan to stop IC car production and force people into battery cars. Yes the fuel prices will follow. 2018 SE SDV8 4.4 Byron Blue |

Blimey, thought I'd wandered onto the 'Flat Earth and Other Conspiracies' forum for a moment there. Had to double check. 2012 (L322) 4.4TDV8 Vogue SE, RSE, Fuji White over Arabica.
