Car tax rip off is coming into force shortly' does anyone know what the tax rate will be on a 2.4 ltr 2002 Alphard and a 2004 3 .o ltr?

Funny enough my 2.4 has just passed it's MoT and I was looking at the 0% CO2 and then I looked at the gov.uk site which listed it as having 0% CO2 also. According to the gov.uk site for a vehicle that age and with 0% CO2 emissions they would be asking for £195 or thereabouts, somewhat less than the £365 I am actually charged for an imported vehicle.

I was wondering whether it s a bit like emergency tax which defaults to a high value until you get your proper tax code - do we need to hassle DVLA to get our road tax to come into line with it's actual emissions?

Or is there something I am missing?

It's an import. So it defaults to a set price.

We looked at this a few years ago. In reality, if this was a UK model, the tax would be higher due to size of vehicle, so don't rock the boat.

Just to say, my son's MR2 roadster gets charged the same rate as my Alphard
