How do I calculate the Green Levy tax?

The Aston Martin Vantage uses 10.3L/100km - 16.4L/100km

Is it by city consumption or highway consumption? Or do they have no factors in this?

This could mean that I could either get away from paying the Green Levy or pay up to $4000.

Here is a link for the Green Levy tax

Green Levy (http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/E/pub/et/etsl64/etsl64-e.pdf )

The levy is calculated on the combined average of city/ highway fuel economy and the levy is for new vehicles only

Yup, C63 has a green levy tax. One of the reason I did not buy one. The other is I can't afford the gas idling thru downtown traffic.

You have no control.

The dealer will charge you what the government wants for the green levy.

You are crying about $4K on a $100K+ car?

I am crying about 4K times 15 cars.

You're right. 60K is nothing to cry over.

Making impulsive assumptions :facepalm:

They introduced it when they were giving incentives for economy cars back in 2007.... although I thought it was scrapped?

Your buying 15 AM's???:bigpimp:

I would think one is enough... lol, unless perhaps you are a dealer. Then you would just charge the end user the levy if it has not already registered, no?

No, I'm not.

Thinking gets me no where. Doing does :P

I may be going through Andrew @ the Distinctive Collection to import the vehicles but some of the numbers I was received were a bit off when I called the manufacturers myself.

Due diligence is important!
