And this might be of interest as well, as motorhomes are based on these
chassis. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- Euro 4 Light Goods Vehicles - New Tax Class (36) From 1 March 2003 light goods vans, first registered in the UK which meet Euro 4 emission level standards, will qualify for a lower rate of vehicle excise duty (VED). The Chancellor announced this concession in his budget in April of last year. The changes reinforce the message to both the motor industry and the general motoring public that 'the less you pollute, the less you pay' for tax discs. The new tax class (TC 36) only applies to those light goods vans, weighing less than 3.5 tonnes, which meet the required Euro 4 standard as detailed in the EC Directives. The rate of duty payable for the new tax class will be 105 for 12 months and 57.75 for 6 months, a saving of 55 and 30.25 respectively on the normal vans rate (TC 39). The manufacturer needs to provide voluntary confirmation that the vehicle meets the Euro 4 standard at first registration in the UK. Without this you will be charged the higher rate of VED. The manufacturer will add this information at first registration either via the Automated First Registration and Licensing System [AFRL] or on the paper V55. If this information is not available, you will need to contact the manufacturer to obtain evidence that the vehicle meets Euro 4 standards. This should be a signed declaration made by them on formal headed paper. Vehicles registered in the UK before 1 March 2003 will not be eligible to claim the new concession. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- Marty -- The Camper House, sole UK importers of new Autostars & approved used Autostar imports via network . -- Tel. 01865 427900.
