🚗💸 Car Owners, Brace Yourselves! Starting April 1st, a vehicle tax hike is set to hit the UK, and some drivers could be shelling out up to £5,690! If your car’s a CO2 guzzler at over 255g/km, prepare for that hefty fee. Big names like Ford, BMW, Mercedes, and more are affected.
Why the jump? Well, changes to Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) rates began back in 2025, targeting petrol and diesel cars. Now, models like the Land Rover Defender, Porsche 911, and even the Rolls-Royce Ghost are part of the £5,690 club.
Here’s a quick tax breakdown for cars registered after April 2017:
🌿 0g/km – £10 stays steady
🔋 1-50g/km up to £115
🚙 226-255g/km now £4,850
🔥 Over 255g/km skyrockets to £5,690
After the first year, most cars will fall back to a standard rate of £200.
Is your car on the list? Models from Bentley to Toyota and even some Audis and Fords are included. Check if your vehicle’s listed and get ahead on budgeting for this rise. Sustainable motoring feels more important than ever! 🌍
Stay informed, stay prepared, and maybe consider a greener vehicle next time you’re in the market. 😉 #CarTax #VEDUpdate #UKDrivers #GreenMotoring
