Honda CR-V hybrid - New car Road Tax confusion - wizzard

I understand that for a NEW car with a list price of more than £40,000, the Road Tax for years 2,3,4,and 5 is £475. So, the list price of £40k, does it include extra for paint or is it the base listed cost?

Important as the paint would take the car over £40k and I an getting conflicting advice from different dealers on whether paint extra is included or not.

My understanding is that it does include the cost of factory-fit options but not dealer-fit options.

I take it the car is an EX version of the CRV

Trade down to an SR - well under the £40K and no 5 year surcharge

You will lose a few toys but save £1500 on road tax.
