I'm probably misunderstanding it all but, is it right that my TD4 Auto, registered 30th March 2001 is going to cost £520 to tax. Whereas someone with exactly the same model, registered a month before will be £245?

No Fair

Would that mean a BMW with the same engine & 'box cost the same

Where did you get that info?

May help if you post the link to it.

Checked and found my car was band L, then looked it up on this page: https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-tax-rate-tables/rates-for-cars-registered-on-or-after-1-march-2001.
You can navigate from there to find the rates for cars registered before

What does the asterisk mean on band K????

*Includes cars with a CO2 figure over 225g/km but were registered before 23 March 2006.

That's a good point, why is mine classed as an L?

This is where I found the classification;http://carfueldata.direct.gov.uk/search-new-or-used-cars.aspx

Glad you found that.....pesky little asterisk causes a lot of questions.

But If you go online you can check to see what your tax code should be by using the reg number.

This is really confusing,, (For Me) In this search; http://carfueldata.direct.gov.uk/search-new-or-used-cars.aspx my car comes out as an L...

Can someone please clarify??

That was until the 30th March 2017, they moved the classification to an L from today, no wonder it's April fool's day, we're the fools for letting them do that.
Although it would seem that it should fall into the K category because of the Asterisk.

Not sure what today has to do with it. The Tax changes from today are only for new cars. I think you will find it has always been an L.

Ouch I have just checked mine. Currently I have paided my road tax for six months in February but when the new one comes in I will still be hit on the next one. TD4 GS 2002 late.

Just went through this and my 2002 GS TD4 registered 03/04/02 comes out at £305 annually, not much different to what it is now.

Came out as tax band K.

MIne shows on the .gov website as Tax band M, but the asterisk takes care of it.....Not sure why people get confused by it TBH.

you've not been inside my head.

You are all getting confused, if your vehicle is registered before March 2006 then it is only £295 for the year. I've just taxed my 02 90 TD5 as from today and only paid £295!

I do not think I am getting confused at all, and as it is now £305 for my D2.

My apologies, I was correct, now I am wrong, they seem to have increased the duty since I paid mine, thankfully I paid on Thursday, if I paid from today, I too would have had to pay £305!

Again, please forgive my numbness, is it the same for automatics. You see I saw a table somewhere that differentiated between the two.

neilly · Apr 1, 2017

I do not see that it does, unless by some bizarre coincidence it makes a car cross one of the threshholds.

It would be possible to check using the link you put up earlier.
