    Expected fuel duty rise of 2p per litre, announced autumn 2007 and due to take effect in April, will be postponed until October 2008.

    Owners of cars in road tax band G (with carbon dioxide emissions at 226g/km or higher and registered from March 23, 2006) suffer a £100 in road tax as announced in the pre-Budget report last autumn. Bands C to F (121-225g/km) increase by £5. No change for bands A and B (0-120g/km).

    2009 reform of Vehicle Excise Duty to encourage drivers to choose cleaner cars. Owners of small cars and compact family cars are likely to pay less road tax in future with a 150g/km threshold, while more cars will be exempt from road tax during their first year on the road. High polluting vehicles will pay double in their first year after registration.

    New trials are planned with a view to introducing road charging in future.

    Hopefully Americans considering their country creates most of our problems :eek:

    To put it into perspective, the Iraq war costs the US taxpayer a princely sum of £6bn PER MONTH.

    I'm sure it's exempt from bandings if it's manufactured before 2001.

    I'm driving a 2000 reg ford ka, cheap as chips :D

    Cars registered before 1 March 2001: taxed on engine size; over 1549cc £180 a year, below £115. Cars with petrol engines registered on or after 1 March 2001: taxed in seven tax bands depending on CO2 emissions. Bands A-F apply to all cars registered until a year ago, the new G tax band applies to heavily polluting cars registered on or after 23 March 2006.
    Different tax rates apply for cars with engines using diesel or alternative fuels



    I'm £5 worse off :cry:

    i dunno where they get the money from though, coz petrol is around £1.30 a GALLON at the moment, a pack of cigs will cost you around a £1, and a bottle of vodka/whiskey will cost around £5...!!

    maybey its just coz there are so fucking many of them, that a small tax increase of 1-2p a person generates the money they need...... oh and america's national debt is fucking phenominal!
