Another good place to check how much you will pay when you go to the post office or pay on line is,,, the DVLA website, just type in your reg number and it comes up with your details and a price, simple as that. Very Happy

i had that difficulty with a n insurance company, they insisted that the paj was a 1997, which was when it was imported. i sent them a picture, a copy of the log book, spoke to them numerous times aout it but they would not budge, the tried to charge me for their mistake, but i got all my money back in the end.

Hi folks - please see my original post ( email from DVLA ) for confirmation that I was correct about the fact that an imported vehicle is taxed from date of manufacture, not import.

Hi everyone,
Just to make you all feel a bit better about your tax and how much it costs.
I live accross the water in Ireland and the tax is based on size of engine etc. no matter what age it is.
For example a 2.5 costs 821 euro per year and a 2.8 costs 1071 euro per year. Anything over 3001 cc is 1343 euro per year. Crying or Very sad

So if you drive a 3.5 the rate in Sterling would be around 880 - 900 pounds per 12 months.
This is unless you drive commercial with no seats in the back then it is more reasonable.

By the way I am looking to purchase my third Paj as the BMW is no good for towing or getting through floods etc.
Anyone selling a 2.5D or 2.8D LWB exceed for sensible money??

Cheers
LORRY Very Happy

The emissions based vehile road tax only applies to vehicles built post March 2001, before that you pay according to the engine size and should be £180 for 12 months provided it doesnt go up

Bonjour, et bienvenue a Pocuk, Lou. sign2

As Baddoo says, the tax should be £180 or thereabouts, ( not sure what the 2008 rate is going to be - anybody know?) because they have no manufacturers emissions data prior to 2001.
Do make sure that when you register the car over here, that the date of manufacture is very clearly stated - there's a few people who have been wrongly banded because the DVLA has taken the date of first registration in UK as the date of manufacture.

Anyway, all questions you might have, and some more, can be answered on this site - introduce yourself here: http://www.pocuk.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=74 and have a look around the site. It's a great place to be and to meet some new friends.

a bientot,
