Ceejay29 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Hi Guys, I am pretty sure that I have read a topic somewhere on this forum (can't find it now) regarding road tax, and I am pretty certain that a member mentioned that the road tax for a JDM vehicle is cheaper? Anyway, I have just received my first renewal reminder and thought I'd see what others are paying. I have a 2003 import and have been asked for a payment of; £148.50 for 6 months or £270 for 12 months. Is this cheaper than the UK Zed or is it a myth? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete87 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Last year on my 2005 jdm I payed £250 for a years tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceejay29 Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 Really, strange that it is inconsistent. I may give them a call, depending on what the UK zed charge is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 This is the same as the bill for my JDM. Has been this price since i've owned it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceejay29 Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) Thanks Marzman, I have a feeling we are being over/undercharged....something isn't right I am slightly confused as to whether or not the DVLA refer my Zed as a UK or JDM car. It was imported in Feb 2004, I have lots of documentation, including the certificate of cancellation registration (very interesting). The car was advertised as a 350z when I bought it, not a Fairlady Z, additionally the V5 refers to it as a 350, not a Fairlady. Both the road tax reminder and V5 state that the CO2 figure is 294 G/KM and it appears that I am paying the road tax cost of a UK Zed? After a quick search on the DVLA webpage, they suggest that I should be paying £280, this is the exact same cost as a UK zed currently advertised on auto trader (whereas my reminder states £270 and Pete's JDM is £250) Doubt I will contact them as it is probably more likely than a new reminder will be issued at £280 not £250, slightly unprofessional in my eyes. Hmmmm....? Edited April 12, 2013 by Ceejay29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC350Z Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I believe its to do with when its imported and how its registered but I could be wrong mine is £260 for the year but I have seen someone that has a 2003 car imported in 2007 paying facelift tax 400+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KC350Z Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 it on here some where and its because when its reregistered they go by current tax regs and go buy import date not when it was built i was shocked to ill try and look for thread when i get time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie-B1 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I have just received my road tax reminder for my 2003 fairlady and it is £121 for 6 months and £220 for 12 months, but it does say the rate was correct at time of printing a different rate may apply following any budget statement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiuchi-Gary Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Just checked my tax disc, £475 for the year last year. The DVLA website says it should/will be £490 for an import June 2006 from April 2013 So I guess most of you are getting a better deal than me Band M CO2 emissions(g/km) Over 255 £490.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heuston Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 £270 WOW, I wish I lived in the UK, the tax here in Ireland is €1809 per year or about £1500 in pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
