Nice surprise

Postby Campo Steve » Thu Apr 21, 2011 7:56 am

Nice surprise. Despite Spains financial problems, my annual tax for car and bike are the same as last year. I expected a rise, but not going to complain. Still a lot cheaper than UK car tax, which is always a bonus.
I've got an inferiority complex, but it's not a very good one!

Hi Campo Steve,
Same up here.............although they seem to charge "Vehículo mixto" (MPV to you and me) so that works out same as UK. Over twice as expensive as saloon car in this area where every other vehicle is in this category.

Hi Mowser,
So your Fiat Doblo not classed as "vehículo mixto adaptable" :?:

I was going on the info when I had both a car(Rover) and Kangoo the tax rate was 63€ and 140€ respectively here in Alcalá.

Car tax based on where you pay. It's cheaper in the Velez Malaga area.
The larger the cuty, the higher the tax.

Hi Mowser,
Interesting comment................"The larger the city, the higher the tax."

I presume you meant city.

Vélez-Málaga (Popluation 74,190).............is 3x the size of Alcalá La Real, (pop 22,783)

I pay my car tax to Frigiliana town hall. Population of Frigiliana is around 3,000.
I meant the velez malaga area.

Don't come up here then as a terrano will cost you 165€, Peugeot 406 140€, Ford Torneo connect ( furgoneta ) 89€, Vw LT 28D ( furgoneta ) 61€, kia carnival 165€. These are all if paid within the 10% discount period as well ! At least the Kias insurance is 220€ less than the Connects .
" Larger the cty, more the tax " doesn't apply here as these are less than a small town called Mazarron , just down the road ,where the pop. is only 20 k. Once you get above 2litres here the tax is the same as , if not more then, the UK.
