Showroom Tax

I'm not clear, is this VW picking up the tax rise, or the dealers by choice?

Customers will be picking up the tab unless your dealer is silly enough to. Doesn't matter when you ordered it unfortunatley

My dealer better get on with mine then or they will be told to park the car were the sun don't shine if they try and charge me for this because they were too lazy to register it in time.

So what was my dealer talking about regarding me not needing to pay anything more on the GTI? I guess he's hopeful that the car turns up before April lol.

He will be hoping he can get it registered and taxed before the end of the month otherwise he will have to discount the car............ to pay for the extra tax

Ah I see.

Guess as it's a new tax based on date of the cars registration then it's not really down to the dealer then as it's a tax change.

Found the following on parkers. Not too bad got the GTI mk6 as low co2.

The table on the above link indicates that the golf (which is tax band H as co2 emissions of 170g/km or 173g/km for the DSG)
So looks to be a one off showroom tax of £250 from cars 1st April onward. Also annual tax then after starting following year is £180 for 12 months (which is less than the Mk5 gti).

All the while our boys in Afghanistan are stretched the limit with insuffecient equipment and supplies.

Did you know, as a new recruit in the Army, you are given just 20 live rounds to fire during basic training.  After that, you're dropped into a warzone expected to be a formiddable killing machine.

wrong, if you are going to make statements like that can you get your facts right please.
it makes the army sound unprofessional, we get extensive training before we deploy on operations and certainly use more than 20 rounds during basic training as you need more than that to pass the shooting tests. and the rest is done with blank ammunition so that skills can be honed in.
best leaving things like that to the people in the know
