Original list price
Discussion
Is there a simple way of finding out what the original list price was of a car to know if it will be subject to the the additional tax charge?
I've done a Google search and it says to use the GOV tax checker site but that asks for the 11 digit reference from the V5 to be able to confirm tax rates.

They'll either know the original price or the VED rate.
You can find out via the reg number on the gov car tax check site. It's not obvious though (I has the exact same question a few months ago and someone on here had to explain it to me).
Once you enter the reg number and click through there is a table called Vehicle Details. At the bottom there will be a row saying 'Additional Rate applicable until' with a date if it is subject to the £40k extra tax. If it is not subject to the £40k extra tax that row will not be there (which is confusing, as I thought that row should always be there but simply say not applicable against it for cars less than £40l list). Try it out with a car you know that is above £40k list, and one that you know is below and you'll see how it shows it.

This site - https://cartaxcheck.co.uk/ is pretty accurate.
No affiliation, have just used it quite a lot myself.
