You did the right thing. Your car tax has gone up from £100 to £115 (from tomorrow)!

Just trying to tax my car online before the price rises tomorrow. Bit of a coincidence that the DVLA's website to tax online is unavailable due to "essential maintenance". :mad:

I have 1999 4x4 for my farm. It is 2.9l Diesel
If it was a 2001 model this new tax would apply, but because it is older the £175 tax remains the same??????

The £175 tax under the old system is going up to £180.

If you go to this site http://www.vehiclelicence.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/ and go on vehicle enquiry you can enter your registration number and make of car and it will tell you how much tax you will now pay. If you them look at this link http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring...le/DG_10012524 you can see what band your car is if. It seems that band G was only introduced for cars registered from March06 so if you have a large 4 x 4/ people carrier but its older than March 06 you will be in band F not G.

Seems simple enough, eh?

Now you know why tax lawyers earn so much dough!
