Car Tax (Yes, a silly question)

I'm considering changing car to (wait for it) a fuel-guzzling v6 coupe - nice eh? (Oh, alright then, a Hyundai 2.7 coupe)



So I've been looking at the car tax brackets - odd really, as none seem to agree with each other.



If I buy a car producing over the 225g/km of CO that was registered before end February 2006, will it join the mythical and expensive £400 car tax bracket in 2010 or will it stay in the £220 group ad infinitem?



Every website I've seen seems to disagree with the others - which one really contains the truth?



Many thanks

Should stay in the same group ad infinitum the same way pre-2001 cars=20 have on the =A3185 a year and pre-1972 ones have with zero rated.=20

--=20 Conor

If it is after 2001 and pre-2006 it will go up a little, but the big jump has been postponed. But it should have a large jump to if it hadn't been postponed.

Parkers seem to be the best for car tax rates.

Splendid - so even in 2010 my pre-March 06 car will cost only £245 to tax? I'm in business!!!!

Who can say what will happen in 2010? All any of us can say is that it's OK for now.

Las time I checked the info on the official web page it said that it's going to be permanent, but parkers said it was uncertain. I guess if they postponed it now, it's because it was too unpopular.. so probably would be even more unpopular in 2 years time to start charging old bangers 400 quid a year ? Simon
