my bad, band c is £110, therefore you do save £60 :)

Is it me or is £100 (Band C) - £50 (Band B) = £50 and not £60?

Great thread, hope you can sort this out.

Where are you getting the list of bands?

because vauxhall advertise it as 119g/km so it should fall into tax band b (£50) but V5 says it is 122g/km which is in band c (£100).

after a chat with vauxhall customer services and the dvla, i am now going to forward a letter from vauxhall with their figures along with the V5 and the dvla will ammend the V5 and we will be able to tax the car in band b and get a refund on the band c tax disk we had to buy this afternoon. so i sugest to everyone with a 1.3 cdti to check this and if you find you are in the same boat, then get on the phone, 10 mins on hold will earn you £60!!!!

went to the post office today with my gf to tax her car (corsa c 1.3cdti). As she is in uni, she chose this car as it was advertised as being in tax band b, which is £50 per year. when we got to the post office we were told it fell into band C as the v5 states the co2/km as 122, when vauxhall advertise the car as 119 which falls under the 121 limit of band b. anyone know how we go about challenging this as there is no way we are giving the government an extra £60!!!!

cheers
