April 2020 New Vehicle excise duty rates.

Hi,

I have not been able to find any  club info' regarding the new car tax rates.

I bought my S Type in February 2020 and paid £325 car tax, I have just been reading about the new tax rates brought in from April 2020, which shockingly rise up to either £1305, or £1850 for a non RDE2 rated car.

Is any member aware if the 2007, 2.7 S Type Diesel is RDE2 rated ?

No looking forward to having to tell the wife, our old Hyundai was only £25 car tax and I got a lot of stick for wanting to pay £350 for my car.

Your lucky, £565 for my x type.

If you go to the gov website to check if your car is taxed and MOT'd there is a link there to check the rates for your vehicle. All you need is the 11 digit number on the front of the V5.

But dont worry, the s type will not be RD2 rated.

Hi Alan,

I pay the tax monthly at no extra cost. [1st June 2020 - £28.87   +6pence one month  I have just done it.]

If I paid annually it would be £346.50.

My s type is also a 2007 Diesel.  I think the s type is not RDE2 rated.  That is only for new cars,

Regards,

Peter.

The rates quoted in the original post only apply to new cars registered from 1st April 2020
