Email This Page

The Budget Report 2009 confirmed the changes to the VED rates as announced in the Pre-Budget Report. From May 1, 2009 cars registered on or after March 1, 2001 in Bands A-E (up to 140 g/km) will see no increase in their VED rate for 2009/10. Rates for cars in bands F-M will rise by £5. From April 2010 the ‘first year rate’ for new cars will be introduced as announced in the March 2008 Budget. However, rises on vehicles already on the road will be capped at £30 for the most polluting cars. The least polluting cars will benefit from a £30 cut in VED, while other cars will see no increase in the standard rate. Here is the breakdown:
