dottythe90 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 From the budget document 7.75 To strengthen environmental incentives, the Government announces further reforms to VED: • a new higher band of graduated VED (band G), set at £210 for petrol cars, will be introduced for the most polluting new cars (those above 225g of carbon dioxide emissions per kilometre); • the VED rate for the small number of cars with the very lowest carbon emissions (band A) will be reduced to £0 to encourage take-up and assist the development of the low carbon car market; • VED rates will also be reduced for band B by £35 and C by £5, frozen for bands D and E, and increased by £25 for band F; • rates for pre-2001 registered cars and light goods vehicles in the lower band will be frozen with the higher band increased by £5; • the reduced rate of graduated VED for alternative fuel cars will be extended to include those cars manufactured to run on high blend bioethanol (E85); and • In total, 50 per cent of cars will see their VED frozen or reduced.Three million cars will pay VED of £100 or less. It appears that the £210 band G is for NEW vehicles, not existing, so I guess for most of us with post 2001 vehicles that means a £25 increase to £195. Those with older models get away with at most a £5 increase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dottythe90 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 So, i wonder if diesel defenders/disco's etc are safe? I can't see them missing a trick with new diesels that produce over 225g/km emissions. It just says £210 for petrol cars - maybe diesels in that band will be more ?

Bonfire Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 The idea of some really enviromentally friendly cars being zero for road tax in my opinion does not seem right, unless 'hybrid' means its part car- part flymo it still takes up space and wears the road out....!! also, if i never heard the following expressions ever again it would be too soon..... 'Gas-guzzlers' '4x4's will be HIT' 'Panic at the pumps' etc. etc. James (cringing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
