Japan Auto Auction Guide # 3 - How to read Sheets auction
Presentation vehicle tax, CO2 and minor indiscretion of Volkswagen.
Apologies for mentioning a German manufacturer at a site on Japanese cars, but VW has been struggling recently about their use of clever programming of the central cheating emissions testing.
This prompted me to write about tax on import Japanese vehicles or vehicle excise duty to use the proper term Why emissions of exhaust gases are related to the taxation of cars in the UK the majority of cars in the UK are now taxed according to the number of grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer they produce in general, you'll pay anything from 0 to 500 depending on how much CO2 your car This product is the case for all vehicles registered after 1 March 2001.
Dieselgate is mainly nitrogen oxides NOx, but a major concern is that the fixing of NOx emissions problems with these cars could groped to their CO2 emissions and thus put them in a higher bracket car taxation Our secretary transportation recently reassured worried VW owners that wouldn t happen.
I can understand why you would be concerned about this batch of Japanese imports mentioned on this site either.
Some have more than one of these Subaru Forester STi large engine capacity, turbo, fast Nissan Elgrand big engine, heavy.
These don t sound like they're going to have CO2 outputs, too.
Most Japanese imports are not taxed on their CO2 production.
The majority of imported cars in the UK from Japan are taxed based on their CO2 output Most of them had even haven t Measured he is good.
CO2 is not on the agenda for older cars more than 10 years.
Let us consider a car more than 10 years to do it, why should I continue on cars that are 10 years This is the point where they require only a standard MOT before recording, instead of a more complex test for young cars.
The MOT test doesn t CO2 production of a car, so it will not be on the agenda in the inspection and registration process instead, owners of Japanese imports more than 10 years are charged a lump sum of 230 or 145 per year, according to the motor is above or under 1549 cc You can check the latest figures here.
I mentioned earlier, the Subaru Forester STi and now will use as an example The annual fee for this car would be 230.
What if you bought a Subaru Forester UK market XTE instead the STi is better of course, but bear with me for this example.
As the STi, the XTE a May 2 liter turbocharged How much tax would you pay for this car Well, British taxes are rarely simple and this is no exception If it was recorded between November 2005 and March 23, 2006 you pay for 290 If it was registered after March 23, 2006, you pay 490 for anyway, you've saved some money on car tax with the imported car on the car in the UK.
CO2 also doesn t function for most cars within 10 years.
the youngest car under 10 will need an IVA test reception of the individual vehicle, I'll go into more detail in a separate post, but think of this as an additional disk MOT.
Is the IVA test coverage analysis of CO2 production again, usually in many cases this is a good thing.
What if you buy a hybrid car or kei you reap the fruits of their small battery-powered motor loveliness the environment.
Some cars have what is called a report template available that contains specifications for a particular model of a particular car, I think I can see how it got its name If a model report exists, it may indicate CO2 output against which CO2 from the imported car emissions can be verified IVA test This route can be used to get cheaper car tax rates that I described above based on emissions CO2 car n if your report template, or if the car is old over 10 years you'll just charge rates depending on the cubic capacity described above.
If you are buying a big car fast heavy Japan, you might pay a few hundred pounds less and vehicle tax than you would if you were buying an equivalent UK market car course a long time, the only why you are importing a car from Japan is because you can not buy a similar car on the UK market.
