Did you know? Road tax is changing

New road tax rates are changing and from 1 ^st April 2017, all cars registered will fall under thirteen bands in year one (as shown in the table below). From year two onwards three new bands will be in place: these are zero emissions, standard and premium. These bands and the cost to you are governed by the CO ₂ emissions omitted from your vehicles. We’ve highlighted the estimated costs for each bracket for you to cross-reference against if you are considering buying a new car from April 2017 onwards.

First year VED rates:

From year two onwards, the bands change to just three with cars emitting 0g/km of CO₂ being exempt, and with standard cars paying £140 a year. Cars that cost more than £40,000 have to pay a £310 premium on top of this for the next five years of the car’s life.

These changes only apply to cars registered on or after 1^st April 2017, so current cars or future cars registered before this date will continue operating under the existing system we’re all familiar with.
