It's £310 on top of the standard £140, so £450 a year and £800 on first registering (If based on invoice value of car).Just checked the in the June 2015 RS3 brochure
Current 2015 first year road tax is £490 then £265 thereafter
£310 is a pain for over £40k but looks like similar costs over a 3 year period
So whats the point in changing it in the first place?
before April 2017.......First year will be covered within the OTR price. As above £310 won't be incurred if you buy it and register before next year. Could be interesting to see how dealers deal with late orders although I wonder if the £40k is car only and excludes extras and options as how would you know in the future when buying second hand apart from asking?
@Foxtrot_Oscar - My bad. Missed that bit FOIt's £310 on top of the standard £140, so £450 a year and £800 on first registering (If based on invoice value of car).
This is what I have been trying to say. The Impreza will benefit from this but the Discovery having just got his tax down will suffer due to overall cost. Does this mean we can lose the frustrating start/stop mechanism?First years tax is usually covered by the dealer is it not?

Anything registered pre 1st April 2017 will be subject to the current system and will not change after April 2017; this does not mean that the rates for current bands will not increase in the future.So my car is due in September current tax is £265 per year after the first year. Will this change in 2017 then or continue to be £265 per year as it was registered before 2017
NoIf you get a discount from the dealer does that impact P11D value?
With the new VED rates coming in in April 2017, does this mean we may finally see the end to stop/start ?
Personally, I hate it with a passion!
