Vehicle Duty

[Nitro]

Personalised number plates next maybe??

That needs to happen ASAP, i've gone to see a few cheap cars recently between £100-£500, most of these people seem to think the numberplate is worth more than the car, infact I had to argue the point on the one i've just bought as they wanted to keep the plate for no other reason than sell it as the government said it was worth £1000!. I said keep the plate all you like, but i'm not buying another!

The next big cost is changing the log book over, its hardly encouraging, previously £6, its now £10, same system, same paperwork, just £4 more per transaction, adds up alot when you go through 7-8 cars in a year......

Sorry so does this mean my 2006 hawkeye will be not done on co2 but cc? Even though it was registered after April 2010. I really hope so

When i brought my bmw over in 2010 they couldnt tax it on emissions as there was no co2 data on the uk logbook.

So if your car has been imported to the iom since the co2 crap came in then you will be done on emissions unless there is no data available then it will be on cc.

Thats how i get it anyway

Yeah usually post 2001 cars have emissions data on the log book. If there is no emissions data avaliable when the car is imported it will go on cc as said above.

unless it's first registered elsewhere before 1 april 2008 in which case it will be on the cheaper of CC or CO2?

Vehicles previously registered outside of the Isle of Man before 1 April 2008 will be given the
lowest duty based on either CC or CO2.
