Car Forum / UK Car Forums / 4x4 Cars (UK group) / June 2007Why should my 1598cc be taxed?
Maybe this has be done to death here but I am still amazed that the f"%!ing gv't can lump my 1598cc 4cyl petrol Suzuki in with all the bastard/f-off Cayennes/X5's etc I return upwards of 35mpg around town and actually need a 4x4 as am in the country and have a drive like the North face of the Eiger... Same engine in a saloon, no tax... Oh and I have no kids... Bastards Bastards Bastards......... I did write to Suzuki and get them motivated to try and overturn this category for their sales sake, but they just caved in to it... stupidly - I'll not buy a 4x4 again.

IT'S NOTHING TO DO WITH IT BEING 4x4... If your car is pre March 2001, then the ONLY tax split is 1550cc. If your car is post March 2001, then the tax split is on the official CO2 emissions. > Maybe this has be done to death here but I am still amazed that the > f"%!ing gv't can lump my 1598cc 4cyl petrol Suzuki in with all the > bastard/f-off Cayennes/X5's etc They don't. The tax band is separated on age, engine size, and then only in cars later than some recent date, on emissions band, nothing to do with whether it's a 4x4 or not. > Same engine in a saloon, no tax... No tax in a saloon? You are in fantasy land. > Oh and I have no kids... Mercifully. > I did write to Suzuki and get them motivated to try and overturn this > category for their sales sake, but they just caved in to it... > stupidly - I'll not buy a 4x4 again. Great! If you want to fight fantasy monsters, try World of Warcraft.  SignatureBlast off and strike the evil Bydo empire! |
