I am thinking about changing my car and wondered if there was some sort of car tax table? Anyone know if this exists? I have a Yaris, which is very economical, but want something a bit bigger for the little ones things and car seats, of course it must be economical and reliable.

Although I want to pay cheaper car tax I still want a car that looks half decent ;-) hehe..

Don't think I'd feel very safe in a smart car plus it wouldn't fit my shopping!

This site has tables of costs and also emissions tables (which the tax is based on for new cars) so you can consider before buying.

This takes you straight to calculator for car you already know the spec for.

Hi Stacey, I'm in the same position. I'm thinking something like the scenic may be best for me.

Fiat Punto 1.2 - £105/year I think... might be £95, but £105 rings a bell

I should maybe have put some exceptions in, I would rather stay away from Fiat, had a bad bad experience with them!

my BMW 1 series is £115 for 12 months, however, the new ones with the better particulate filter (from 1st sept) makes it even lower and £35 for 12 months!!!!

this is the tax for a 118d with the 2.0l diesel engine!

Hi
I have a Escort 1.4 so I pay £115.00 a year. The road tax goes on the size of the car engine. Hope this helps.
