Changes To Vehicle Tax From April 2010

[reece]

The information below is about the changes to Vehicle Tax that will take effect from April 2010

What changes are being made to vehicle tax from April 2010?

Vehicle tax rates for cars registered on or after 1 March 2001 are split into 13 bands depending on CO2 emissions. The amount you will pay depends on which band your car comes under.

From April 2010 there will be different Vehicle Tax rates for new cars when they are first registered. These are known as ‘first-year rates’. Standard rates of Vehicle Tax will also change in April 2010.

What are the ‘first-year rates’?

From April 2010 anyone buying a new car will pay a different rate of Vehicle Tax for the first tax disc. From the second tax disc onwards they will then pay the standard rate. This will send a stronger signal to the buyer about the environmental implications of their car purchase and will only apply to new cars, not already registered cars.

Where did you get this info from?

Are you sure this is correct?

Those rates shown apply to tax discs taken out from 1 May 2009

The new rates I have posted are from April 2010

Which is exactly why I asked where you got this info from.

I have since found it here and the second half answers my question.

The all important line you missed out was:

*Band K includes cars that have a CO2 figure over 225g/km but were registered before 23 March 2006.

At the time I posted my link that was the current page on pricing for rad tax. They have since updated it.
