new tax rates

[Northern Bongolow]

this makes interesting reading, who wins or looses if you have several vehicles. . i think i know the answer before i read it.

if you read page 2 it helps explain the winners and losers a little better. no surprise that the big motors under £40 k win.
im looking for a above £40 k car thats over 5 years old if anyone has one for sale.

Heads we pay, tails we pay.

'Twas ever thus.

So with a 1st year tax Rate of #500 and #450 for the next 5 years should i cancel the order for my 50k pound motorhome and use the Bongo for another 10 years.
No I wasn't thinking of selling it but repatriating it to a son, but which one, the one with a licience or the one with wander lust and no ability to drive?

[Bob]

Since that is a very difficul call I'd pocket the fifty grand and keep Bongy.

Thanks Ady, looks like £245 for me then. Can we be sure these are rates the govt is committed to post Autumn 2017 budget (i.e. how do we know they're new)?

You and me both.

Not third vehicle, though, just the thought of fifty grand spare. I wish.
