Question over £40k tax

pred02

Hi,
I am looking at a 2017 car that cost just over £40k new. I understand that I will need to pay £335 extra in tax. Is this until 2022 or 5 years from the point of my purchase?

thank you

5 years after the first registration date.
The 5 years doesn't reset every time the car changes hands.

I had same question a week or so ago and someone answered it. 

you can check using the registration number on https://www.gov.uk/check-vehicle-tax

Once you put the reg number and confirm the vehicle details, it'll show "Additional Rate applicable until"

Hope it helps

Any tax BOUGHT on or before that 5th anniversary of the 1st reg date carries the surcharge.
