£250!!!!!!! ouch! :(

Snap!!! and yes OUCH!!!!

Simon

Yes you nailed it ,it is ouch

mine is due in Sept too! but just checked and mine is only £195.00? didnt realise it was cheaper for the FL?

I think it will be 6 month tax this time!!!

Shame you cant pay monthly...

My mate brags about his road tax free car... ahem a Fiat 500!

Criky how come the tfsi vRS is so much more than Tsi vRS

I taxed mine this month £195 for the year

More efficient, the revised TSI unit fitted to the FL. Simple as that really.

Plus the lovely government continuing to increase the tax levy - that won't help either! :|

And I thought my reminder at £215 was a touch steep.

Mind you my old Discovery 3 was over £400!!! so the Octavia is cheaper than that. What is annoying is I only do about 5-6k miles a year!!!

They used to do tax-stamps, so you could "save" for it monthly. Not sure if they still do.

Apparently they no longer do the stamps it's a savings card from the post office, right down at the bottom of the link

Don't the post office do a road tax stamp book? You buy stamps of certain value stick them in a book for the year and buy road tax with it?

Are you guys talking about vehicle excise duty?

******* stings doesn't it.

That'll be why I think about changing the car every June.

Mine is only £120, for the diesel

Nasty polluting things them petrol ones

Edited 14 August, 201213 yr by skippy41

is there a web site that lists all the tax brackets and what it is for any particular car?

my 1.6tdi is 125€

the 2.0 tdi is 200€

the 2.0 petrol is 300€

Yeah, look on Parkers.co.uk for your very car. It'll give you everything you need to know.

What about a regular savings account? Just set up a direct debit and away you go. That way you'd get interest on it, too (OK, so it's only £4 but hey!)

Just got mine. £30 for the Octavia

Not much difference is it - I thought the cost of my last tax was 245 quid? Still heavy hitting on the old wallet tho. Saying that, I looked at a Mazda 3 MPS before the Octy and the tax on that was 400 quid!

My last one was £195 for the year :think:

thing is, id be happy to pay the rates if the money was used for road repairs etc so they were up to the standards they should be. Think i find a new pot hole everyday!

1.8 TSi £195 apparently - same as last year

Yep OUCH , due end of month, I only did 4k in the last year to, wish they would put it on fuel so you pay for what you use , not much room on it now being seriously overpriced as it is tho.
