XmisterIS Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I notice the OP's link refers to 'vehicles' being taxed at a flat rate. Does that mean a 50cc moped will be liable for the same tax as a Luton van, for example? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Fro Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 "Tesla Tax"even thought your car is 100% electric, because it cost more than £40k the government want to tax you ...Exactly. Just because you want to spend £40k+ on a car. Plus it's an extra £310/year for 5 years.It'll be interesting to see how many manufacturers offer a base spec at £39999 when the new policy comes in.
