For anyone still registered as 2616cc

[bnaellis]

It don\'t matter DVLA already know about that. The guy I speak a lot at dvla who once tried to get me to pay more tax on rx7\'s
after having a technial ear bashing from me went and asked his manager what tax I should pay and his manager said low tax as a 1308 cc however he did confirm that when mazda register an rx7 they do it as a 2616 because they have an agreement with dvla.

Does nobody remember why the government introduced a lower tax rate for smaller engined cars. I\'m sure it was something to do with the environment.
If your main concern is to save yourself £60 a year then why dont you go and buy yourselves a push bike and save yourselves quite a few grand a year instead.

If everybody put as much effort into their work as they have this thread the country would be in a better state, there would be less unemployment and we would be paying a lot less tax overall.

I say bring back workhouses and conscription........................

a fair point. - and no offence taken here. - (have had similar stick from a few friends over this)

It\'s not the £60 saving for me - I think if that was going to break the bank then an RX is not the car to own.

Personally, I just think it\'s one of the very rare opportunities I get to try and scam a little money back off the government that have me paying tens of thousands in tax every year to support every bugger that can\'t be arsed to go out and, as you say, put some effort into work or take responsibility for their own actions. :reallymad The people who have an extra kid not because they want the kid and can afford it but because they get more off the government out of my taxes for it. :reallymad I pay NI contributions but have private healthcare, dental and pensions and ain\'t been to the docs for almost a decade. :reallymad  I pay road tax to sit in traffic every morning and not get a parking space.  I think that the fuel economy from the REX probably pays the govt back their £60 at the pumps anyway so there really is no need to double the displacement for this. :mad:  

It may go nowhere and seem petty, but I\'m sure we all work hard for our money, so surely we are allowed our little petty attempts at revenge now and again.:bandit

My only other alternative is to join Bish\'s new political party and I don;t think the political system is quite ready for that yet...

I got screwed over with the whole 1300/2600 V5 too. Mine was registered as 1300 then the buggers at the DVLA sent me a jippy letter... one complaint from me later and bingo, next days post there\'s a nice shiny new V5 saying 2600. Gits. They just changed it like that. 2 days later, another letter saying you owe us more cash cos you\'ve underpaid your tax. damnit.

[scooby_si]

Well i have just sent a testing letter to the "vehicle policy group" eliment of the DVLA as i was directed to so we\'ll see how that goes, if everyone with 1.3 gets a demand for more money i never did a thing it was that nasty http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008\' target=\'_blank\'>http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_2_105.gif\' border=0> sbelton type! lol

wotcha reckon?:
Hi,
   I’ve been told you’d be the people I now need to speak to having got nowhere quickly elsewhere. Basically my V5 is incorrectly listing my car as 2616cc, previously incorrectly listed as 2600cc. The car in question has registration mark http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008\' target=\'_blank\'>http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_5_4v.gif\' border=0>http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008\' target=\'_blank\'>http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_5_4v.gif\' border=0> REX.
   Now having read all of your paperwork, guidance notes etc in relation to correcting inaccurate details. Eg V70, V100 & INS160. All I am required to supply to confirm, as in this case, a decrease in cc is written evidence from a garage or manufacturer etc that my vehicle is indeed what I’m saying it is.
I therefore enclosed said written evidence along
with my V5C to ensure there was no problem with this.
   I later received a letter from Ms (edited to remove the innocent http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008\' target=\'_blank\'>http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/10/10_1_112.gif\' border=0> lol), whom I believe has already forwarded my details to you, agreeing that my engine is indeed made up of 2 x 654cc rotors which by my calculations makes for 1308cc yet it then multiplies this by 2 again with no real reasoning given other than referring to some directive which no-one can give me or has heard of  & even by it’s name relates to emissions & not to CC which as my vehicle isn’t a new one is all it should surely relate to.
   In absence of any such documents or such like I can see no argument, legal or otherwise as to why I shouldn’t now be given a new V5C showing my CC as the correct 1308cc. As such I would appreciate it if you can either set this matter straight by supplying me with an accurate V5C or alternatively legal documents which validate this inaccurate approach.

   Yours sincerely

Bit sketchy but can\'t wait to see what i get back from that.... lol

hehehe, I just had a 20min conversation with a DVLA guy. He said that the only reason they say it\'s a 2600 is \'cos Parkers Car Guide says so. I told him that I wasn\'t paying another £55 just because they\'re going off a book which has no legal standings. He said that if I send in proof that it\'s a 1308cc then they\'d leave me alone.

[scooby_si]

What\'s his name, address, telephone number & star sign lol

Its good that you are continuing this

If you are sucessfull perhaps all registeres as 616cc will be able to have their tax bracket amended

[scooby_si]

shhh that\'s what my back up plan is, either give me my 1308 & loose £55 or risk me taking you to cort http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008\' target=\'_blank\'>http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/3/3_2_26.gif\' border=0> & you loose everyones extra £55 kinda the is it really worth your while argueing with the lord god scooby_si approach?  http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008\' target=\'_blank\'>http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/17/17_1_10.gif\' border=0> lol

Had decided to give up, not getting a letter when the MOT was done locally.

Just changed my mind and WGT will be sending me a nice new letter to present to my local DVLA office for the sum of ten english pounds.

Hope it\'s here in time for my road tax at the end of this month.

C\'mon, it\'s gotta be worth a try.

Soon as the letter arrives I\'m off to the DVLA office.
