UK Car Tax
I have just had the reminder through, under the new UK car tax system
Either £149.63 for six months
£285.00 for 12 months
and £2.50 if pay by CC
Just wondering if anyone else has had their first reminder through under the new system, and I'm curious as to what everyone pays for their Jag...

I took a big hit going from a 2005 XK8 4.2 Coupe to a 2007 XK 4.2 Coupe. The 2005 car was £270 for 12 Months but the 2007 was £490.
Renewal this year will be £500
This is the same as the tax for a 2015 F-Type 5.0 litre V8. Larger engine and eight years younger than my XK.

That is one heck of a difference, and it makes no sense.
Checked it out, and makes even less sense,
2005 4.2 XK8 CO2 279. Euro 3. tax band K. tax class 48
2007 4.2 XK8 CO2 269. Euro 4. tax band M. tax class 48
That makes the older Euro 3 compliant engine that is worse on CO2 a little over half the price to tax as the newer cleaner Euro 4 compliant engine, ???
Some jobsworth sat behind a desk in Swansea did a really good job with the math on that.

I hate you guys!!!
Here in Ireland we have always had the option of paying tax for either 3, 6, 9 or 12 months at a time. Of course it's cheaper overall, to pay the full 12 months in one lump. This way, it only costs me €1,805 per annum, as opposed to around €2,020 by doing it in installments.
Once you get up around 3.0L you go onto the top bracket, so enjoy your motoring.
Now I'll go off into a corner and cry quietly...............sigh.......

Tax - a lose / lose situation wherever you live!

I think the reasoning behind older cars, which may emit more CO2, not getting a bigger tax hike is that the authorities generally have to make it clear BEFORE people buy things that the tax will be high or higher. They are avoiding retrospective taxation - something they do right across the whole tax system, with very rare exceptions. Were those cars to be introduced new today then they'd get an even bigger tax charge.
The "avoid retrospective taxation" idea makes sense. The fixation on CO2 over a bizarre drive pattern instead of on pollution over the whole driving pattern makes no sense but is what it is. (And is the root cause of the UK's fixation with diesels despite their awful pollution.)
