VAT fuel scale charge for old vehicles

VAT fuel scale charge for old vehicles

Didn't find your answer?

Can anybody tell me if HMRC have posted (and where) the prescribed level of CO2 emissions for old vehicles (without CO2 figures) by reference to the vehicles engine capacity for the fuel scale charges applying after 1 May 2007? VAT note 1 for 2007 says they have but I cannot find it anywhere.
I tried to ring the VAT helpline but "all operators engaged"

Thank You for your reply.
When I tried to phone the VAT helpline it took me over a minute to listen to all the recorded messages and to push all the right buttons, only at the end to be told that all operators were busy and then the line went dead!!
I did not waste my time in trying to ring them again in case they were still all engaged.

I phoned the helpline and was told...
...it's all very complicated, after a while was told:

under 1400cc = 140 CO2
1400cc - under 2000cc = 175 CO2
2000cc and upwards = 240 CO2

I did ask why this incredibly complicated piece of information wasn't put on the new road scale charges notice - they didn't know.
