if its around 3 yrs old and in the high bracket...like my tintop...check the first registration date, if i had picked mine up 9 days later (was registered on the day i picked it up) mine would be now be £400 but instead its £210.
13th march was the cut off date.

I have given myself a rule that i am no longer able to buy a car that i have to pay tax on as i think it will lead to me having to sell some of my cars Even my work vans are going to be classic vehicles.
