Was down the vehicle tax office last week with my mate Archie, while he renewed the road tax on his "four be four" - a whopping 2,400 TL...


Had to laugh - as we walked out Archie quipped - "of course you don't mind paying out over 2,000 TL road tax because of the way they look after the roads over here".....

And Archie lives where???????????

Somewhere on the M11 by the sounds of it Marion. I was there a few weeks ago, and was amazed at the state
of the road surface. I don't think health and safety have travelled on it lately

I remember seing a big roadside panel sign somewhere in London.

There are no road WORKS in London!

.......along with pictures of road works under it.

still,can't complain,60tl for a years road tax on samurai and it is 4x4,or £400 for my navara and it comes with all modern mod cons.Alternatively one can always make use of a donkey.

the rumour is still floating around that your £400 tax could turn into £1000 nice bit about the donkey, i dont think your boss would be too impressed as repoted in the paper.do TRNC vehicle have MOTs as ive seen a lot of cars that look like theyve just come from a stock car rally.

on a serious note dose anyone know if the road tax has gone up again this year by the usual 10% ?

mess 1- Archie lives in alsunjack...

i think his comment was "tongue in cheek" ;0)

I taxed mine on 1st March. No increase then. Still 54TL!

mess 7 - blimy a bargain, i'd have thought that was the going rate for a pogo stick ;0)

I am peeved that I am penalised by my husband's generosity. when we came here we had enough money to buy a new car, so he bought me a small car. Small engine, small size, but when it comes to Road Tax, in spite of the statement that it is to do with kerb weight, if you own a Mercedes or a BMW then .............whoose...........car tad goes through the roof, and although there is nothing inw riting, one gets a wee smile and a 'it is aluxury car'. so instead of the 100tl or less, we have ot pay 900tl. Fair it ain't, but cyprus it is!

Ref Message 8, if you saw the car, you might prefer a pogo stick!

Does seem a bit unfair the way they rate everything???

I went to the tax office last week with 500TL to do the road tax on our car and was shocked as I did not have enough money with me as we were used to paying 260TL for a 1.4 VW Polo, needless to say I had to back this week to tax our Hyundai 1.6 which is 971TL!

I told my hubby we need to get rid of the Hyundai and go back to a small car!

Back in very early 2000s I had customer who was selling so called cosure MOT papers without the vehicles being tested............in uk.

then again,we do have a saying in Cyprus.............keçi güldü goyuna
