Bummed by the taxman
« on: 07 June 2011, 11:46 »
Switched over to a diesel, to save my precious pennies. More MPG, cheaper tax... Well apparently not :sad: :embarassed: :embarassed:
Just got my tax renewal, and they want £118.25 for 6months or £215 for 12months!! :sick: :sick: That's as much as i was paying on my 1.8T!! I thought it was going to be around £115/£120 for the year :huh:

Anyone else riding a GTTDI, 115 130 150, what are you paying for 12 months tax?

Depending on the date of registration you'll be in the older tax bracket

My heart bleeds :grin: :grin:

I would'nt mind so much if they actually used road tax (emphasis on 'ROAD') to fix the damn things. Round Muswell Hill in London, it's like the Grand Canyon! :laugh:
