2010 vehicle excise duty reform

The Pre-Budget Report of November 2009 confirmed the changes to the VED rates as announced in the Budget Report in April.

Changes are being made to vehicle tax from April 2010.

Vehicle tax rates for cars registered on or after 1 March 2001 are split into 13 bands depending on CO2 emissions. The amount you will pay depends on which band your car comes under.

From April 2010 there will be different Vehicle Tax rates for new cars when they are first registered. These are known as ‘first-year rates’. Standard rates of Vehicle Tax will also change in April 2010.
