Pleasant Surprise Today!

Looked at taxing my newly imported Japanese Zed, was surprised to learn that 1 year's tax is £245 and 6 month's is £134.75
Similar UK Zed's 1 years tax £520 and 6 months is £286 - quite a difference!

In UK you pay a tax to use your car on the public roads, it's called the "Road Fund Licence"

Less taxes is always good

Japanese imports have zero corrosion because of the climate in Japan, they also generally have lower mileage and the condition is near showroom.
You pay more money for the car but if it's a keeper it's well worth it.
