Am I right in saying it is going to change from April this year? Seen a few stories reporting it will but cannot work out if changes are for new cars bought after April only?
Anyone clued up on it? |  |

I think there swingeing increases on new cars of the sort people in need of self-validation buy. Smaller increases for those who buy sensible cars. I think most of the changes apply to brand new cars registered after 1 April 17. |  |

Basically, rates are going up, and even low emissions cars will be subject. So if I replace my little Fiesta (currently zero tax), I will have to pay, I think £140.
Govt was losing too much revenue through low emissions cars being bought. They could have enforced payment for effectively (there's very high avoidance, esp in a post-tax disc era). They could have celebrated the success of was was touted as a green policy, with so many people swapping to lower emission vehicles.
But no. A nice stealth tax is the answer. |  | | |

They made it a carbon tax then realised that when you tax a 'vice' downwards you lose revenue. The eejits. |  |

Not to mention the shenanigans which led to diesels being sold as a (lower tax) greener alternative which, when exposed, made a mockery of the system. |  |

I rode all last winter but bottled out this year and bought a small car. Just too old to be riding in freezing temperatures...
Waiting for spring when my car becomes redundant once more. | |

Yes, the new tax laws only apply to any car registered after I believe April 1st.
You will lose the free years tax you get with a new car unless it's electric or virtually emissions free so that's £140 straight away before you drive off the forecourt plus it's a minimum of £140 tax a year! |  |
| Even when you feel down always remember its just a game. |

You'll be ok, it's only new cars registered after the beginning of April this year that get the new tax regime. | |

I hear they are considering bringing back the paper tax disc as they are losing millions of pounds in revenue. |  |
