        Saw that Russ, but they say it doesn't come into effect until April 1 each year. I'm hanging onto my V5 and waiting for the Post Office or if I sent it off, They say I will have to tax it and claim a refund

          I'll have to send mine off for build date correction as it was built Oct 76 but not registered until June 77 - if I go to post Office, I would have to wait until April 2018, current VED runs out October so I'll just give it a 6 months ticket and get a refund on the spare month

            My Toledo should be tax exempt form April this year, and hopefully my 1st Stag next year, that would be 5 cars out of 5!

              My car is 40 this September, it doesn't qualify for free tax until 1 April 17 anyway, at least it will be tax free one day

                  I am going to send a copy first off - some people have said DVLA have accepted that, and if they don't then I suppose I'll have to send the original - firstly because my pal finally had his heritage certificate returned - albeit not until after his MP got them to "reconsider" their original action, and restore his original reg number, and secondly it's only the cost of another stamp if they don't accept it. Thirdly there is the relative cost - if they fail to return the certificate but change the build date in their records, the cost of replacing the certificate is a quarter of the cost of the VED I'd have to pay for another year so the I get the 40 years on first registration date..



                  I have 13 months to get it done so it's not like I'm on a deadline

                      This is a wonderful piece of mis-representation, quoted from the Government website:

                      "The VED exemption is intended to support classic vehicles, which the government considers are an important part of the country’s historical and cultural heritage."

                      We all know that it costs more to collect car tax from old vehicles than the amount they collect. This is quite simply a cost-saving exercise.

                        Quite possibly true, but the end result is still a win for owners of older cars, surely?

                          I agree, I just noted it with amused interest.

                          It would be useful to save the quote to use when the government next thinks about restricting our use of classic & Vintage cars.

                            Sorry but I don't understand why it would cost any more to collect the tax on an "old car" than on a modern. Especially when tax on a Stag is £230. The statement on the website could be considered to be less than true but doing it as a cost saving exercise would logically mean scapping all car tax to save money, unless I have misunderstood.

                            For what it is worth I would support scrapping tax on all vehicles and putying the cost onto the fuel, and I live in a rural area and have to use a car (or bike).

                              You don't think there is enough tax on fuel already? As in 75% of its cost to us?
