I haven't been paying enough attention! Called in to finalise spec the other day and salesman said "you haven't specified heated seats". Not fussed I said, and he said, I won't buy it back without them! Ok, add £200 odd to the total.

Final total up nearly £3k! I missed what else you've added, I said. Road tax!!! And no coffee ;) Most expensive bottle of water I've ever drunk :)

Thats not how I read it. It still says “first licence rate”

Yes, after April 1 the first registration fee is £1305 / £1850 etc but it reverts back to £150 plus £325 for cars over £40K for the next 5 years, then £150.

It may be semantics but the first registration fee is £55 which is payable on top of the first year taxation e.g. my GTS is a total of £2230 to the DVLA (£2175 + £55).

Looking for some info,
I got the same shock as gbj1 above.
However I'm looking for some clarification.
I have read on the parkers guide that for the GTS the banding is L and £1850 yet my just had my final paperwork through and quote from Porsche stating £2150 band M.
I have read the bandings but unfortunatley the GTS sits at 255 which is where the change between L&M takes place.
Can someone confirm if I should be paying £1850 or £2150?

Looking at the Govt's figures, Banding is :
226 - 255 : £1850
Over 255 : £2175
so,
1) the Govt. aren't using lettered bands anymore and
2) your car is 255, not "over 255", so £1850 ?

So far, you haven't posted the spec of your GTS (unless I've missed it somewhere :) ). Most GTS, once you've added options come in at over 255g/km and therefore at the highest first year taxation level. You will almost certainly be paying £2175 (plus £55 first registration fee). Check the Technical Data for your car as optioned and it will show you the emissions value.
