I don't think our american friends are talking about tax here. I think they're talking about how much it costs just to register your car. It's something you don't have to do in the UK.
You have to "register" the car each year (after it's been inspected, (MOT in the UK) ), it's their version of UK road tax.
The tabs have an expiration date on them, like UK road tax discs.
(I've got lots of American family ;-) )
