Just taxed my car. How come it was only £50 for 12 months. Last year it was £90. Do you think they made a mistake?

It's due to the new immissions banding. Your car must have v low emissions.
Here's a website with all the prices on. http://direct.gov.uk/Motoring/OwningAVehicle/HowToTaxYourVehicle/HowToTaxYourVehicleArticles/fs/en?CONTENT_ID=10012524&chk=X2gG9G

To encourage people to cuy less-polluting cars, the Government introduced two new lower emission bands for car tax at the last Budget.
Previously all cars with less than 150 g/km of CO2 were taxed the same. Now cars that emit 120g/km or less are taxed lower. Your car's CO2 emissions are 120g/km, which puts it in the new Band B.

The new car taxation scheme is proportional to the size engine you have in your car. There is a range of engine sizes for each tax bracket. The smaller the engine size, the less tax you pay. I think it starts at 850cc to about 1100cc for the cheapest tax bracket. That is why your tax is cheaper now than before.

Hi groid (sounds like a SF mutant) RFL, road fund licence, is now determined by engine size and levels of pollution ( exhaust emissions ) so small car and low emissions = lower RFL, be happy !!

I assume you have changed your car to a less powerful model. All your details are on the national computer and they know what they are doing. So just enjoy!
