S4 Road Tax

[74ns]

When I purchased the car in 2009 i was told the tax would be £215 and for the past two years it has been, received the renewal in the post yesterday and it states £245.00.... I don't recall any mention of Road Tax increasing,, and as the emissions on the car havent changed surely the tax should remain the same?? maybe there has been some kind of mistake??

Anyone else with S4 got a renewal for £ 245?

Cheers

I don't have an S4..but as far as I am aware the Road tax on most cars goes up every year? (Except for eco/low C02 cars). My 1.9TDi has changed from £145 to £150 to £155 respectively each year. I think the bands move and shift about...might be worth looking on the DVLA site because I think theres a breakdown of them on there.

Just taxed my 3.00tdi for £200 . Makes you think but then what the hell I like the car and the grunt it has

Mine's a 2004 S4 4.2. I bought it a month ago with the remains of a 12 month tax disc (it expires April). The previous owner paid £245 for it, so I guess yours is accurate...
To be honest, I was surprised they don't find an excuse to charge even more for it.

Just be happy you got the S-tronic or you'd be looking at £425!

Not forgetting there is now the extra 1st year tax for higher Co2 cars -in the region of £900 IIRC!

Yes, that's correct according to

you have to tell it the car is an A4 saloon and an S4 spec, then it churns out the following ...

Vehicle Excise Duty for 12 months for:
AUDI New A4 Saloon S4 3.0 V6 333ps quattro
Year 1: £550.00, Standard Rate: £245.00
VED Band: K Engine Capacity: 2967 Transmission: QM6 Fuel Type: Petrol CO2: 225 g/km Euro Standard: 5

It's going up to £260 next month!
