Cars registered after April 1st 2017 will pay a one-off tax charge for the first year, with rates decided by a heavily revised version of the current CO2-based tax band system.

The adjustments mean most buyers will see their first year tax charge virtually doubled, while only zero-emissions vehicles will get away with paying nothing at all.

From the second year onwards, the CO2 scale becomes irrelevant, as two flat rates will then be applied – a £0 (zero) VED rate for zero-emissions vehicles only, and a flat annual rate of £140 for all other cars.

While cars costing over £40,000 will also be liable for the £140 VED rate from year two, they will also be forced to pay an additional annual ‘supplement’ of £310 for the first five years. Jules

Only € 1800? Why am I paying € 1904 per year for my 2012 FL2?

I think yours is an autobox and heavier... .. mine is 1710Kg on the registration...

You can safe a lot of money by moving 5kms south....

It's an automatic, 1745 kg on the registration so same weight group as yours. Are you sure about € 1800? If you live in Gelderland you are (should be) paying € 1968 per year. Gelderland is even more expensive then Noord Brabant.

I don't know where autoweek gets the numbers from but I just got a nice letter from the "belastingdienst" and the numbers on that letter and those from autoweek are not the same for my car.

Put your licenseplate in the URL I put in my post above...

.. I suggest you have your car re-weighed by the RDW...

I entered my licenseplate in the site of the URL, they give a higher number than the site from the belastingdienst. You can check it here: http://www.belastingdienst.nl/rekenhulpen/...belasting/

I have always wondered, is there a hill start test in a Dutch driving exam? 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto

Yes At least when I did my exam 35 years ago. There was one access road in my city where everybody had to do the test, training cars were queuing there. Later they removed that road, I do not know how and where they do the test now. When I did my test we did get the license for driving with a trailer for free.

Diesel is about € 1.15, petrol about € 1.47. That is the price off the main roads, on the motorway it is 10 to 15 cents more expensive.
