Car tax.

[Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO]

I've just retaxed my Westfield for another year, £360, that's £1 per day (nearly). My other 2 cars, Alfa Romeo Giulietta and VW Up! are both £20, 0.05479205p per day. Why?

Will my 1991 registered Westfield on a Q plate ever be tax exempt?

Just sorned mine for the first time! But only because Iam doing jobs that willl stop me getting out over the next couple of months. I will have to treat the car to something for what I’ve saved in tax 😂

As I understand it once it is 40 years old it will be but they eek that out by it having to be 40 years old at a certain point of the year. It also has to be "largely unmodified from the first registration" how the hell they will do that with a Westfield who knows. Plus do not forget if it gets Historic tax it also gets MOT exempt and ULEZ exempt as well. Again that is how I understand it, hopefully mine is in 2028

5 years to wait then, although Q plates seem to be a bit of an anomaly. No one seems to know if they will be exempt.

Probably be like a pension as you get nearer the government will move the goal post further away

Ridiculous that my Westy is £360 when my 240i is £195
