same as. Mine was £110 too and my V11 was sent this month.

So then....as all Minis were made before 1st March 2001, and usually under 1549cc, the rate of tax for a year is £110.00 and six months is £60.50, (except for tax-exempt obviously). In other words the annual rate has gone up a fiver and the six monthly rate by £5.50, but only for engines over 1549cc. Smaller engines have stayed at the same price.

No change since befor the budget, got a year's tax for £110 on Monday.
Turns out that the much heralded tax expemtion applies to only two models - a discontined Susuki hybrid of which there are a whole 200 in the UK, and the Smart diesel which is only available as a grey import.
Whoop-de-doo!

I'm with Garagstie, my tax last December was £110.
