  • Vehicles emitting 191-225g/km of CO2 Will See a Rise from £ 1,650 to £ 3,300.

The ultra-low emission vehicles (1-50g/km CO2) Will See a Shocking 1,000% Increase Despite Being Previously Seen As a Cost-Saving Choice. This will see their tax Rise from £ 10 to £ 110. Additionally, for the first time Ever, Electric Vehicles (EVS) Will Now Be Obligated to Pay a Road Tax. While New Evs Will Now Pay £ 10 in the First Year, Electric Cars Price Over £ 40,000 Will Incur an Additional £ 425 Annual Charge for Five Years, Starting from the Second Year.

The Government has cited inflation and the need to bring evs the tax system as key reasons for the update. While the Shift Aims to Modernise Ved Rates, It Also Means that Many Car Buyers Will Face Extreme Costs Wen Purchasing a New Vehicle.
