Increased taxes
 
In a thread recently Mitzy asked about the increase of various taxes but I cannot find it. Anyway I received our car tax demand today €45.41 exactly the same as last year so hopefully the rest of the taxes will be the same. Some hopes.

The Circulation Tax (Road Tax) is a Town Hall tax, thus every Municipality is/can be different.

Yes I think we know that, but interesting to see the differences. Also varies depending on the car engine / emissions

Are you sure that it is now based on emissions? I know that the registration tax now is but I thought that the local tax was still based on "fiscal horsepower".

Incidentally, when I moved 15km the tax increased threefold - I now pay €140 for a 1.9l diesel.

That's more than it would cost in the UK.

I said the car engine, so maybe I should have said engine size

I did read somewhere that emissions come into it, but tbh as far as I know mine is based on the size of the vehicle

I know that it varies from area to area, I mentioned it because I was extremely surprised that it had not risen and wondered if other people had a different experience.

I was paying more than that here 3 years ago Fred. :eek:

Don't worry. They will 'let you pay' with an appropriate fine and back interest added.

Just in passing. I was wondering how, if you are not the registered owner, you can insure it, ITV etc. Also when a person is driving a vehicle not registered to them they need an authorisation letter from the owner.

If I am not mistaken, beaches of Traffic regulations are contrary to the law, not civil matters.
