How much road tax should I be paying on my Subaru Forester?

I have a 2006 Subaru Forester 2.0 XT AWD automatic petrol car and am getting conflicting costs for road tax. Could you possibly confirm the correct amount I should be paying for my road tax? The reading on the V5 for CO2 emissions is 230g/km.

The rate for 230g/km is £460pa. Had it been 201-225g/km, the rate would have been £270pa. Quite a difference.
