Not really a help and advise question, so I have posted it in the general discussion section - but how much does car tax cost for the Zed cost in the UK?

 

Over here its over €1,200 for the year. I'll only tax it for probably 3 or 4 summer months this year.

Think it's about £210 for anything pre-2000

 

I know you guys get absolutely shafted in Ireland on tax.

£185 a year for a zed.

We do get shafted alright on road tax.

 

OMG - £185 for a years tax - you guys are lucky

why on earth is it so much?

1,200 euro's for a year :shock: I thought I was getting shafted at £101 for 6 months..lol

It goes on the size of the engine. The larger the engine the more tax you pay. In the last year however, the government introduced a new road tax system (for new cars) which is based on the cars emissions. The more eco-friendly the car the less you have to pay. Also this effected the VRT(vehicle registration tax) on new vehicles which again was changed to the emissions basis of tax weighting. Prices of the new diesel bemmer's dropped by as much as €5000.

 

Only thing that is cheaper over here is the cost of diesel and petrol.

I think you need to move up north £185 for a year in Northern Ireland and I think its expensive,might be cheaper to buy a holiday home up here to register,tax and mot your zed lol
