I have recently read of possible changes to VED bands and the 2006 date being changed i.e being done away with but now I now cannot find it anywhere.

Anyone else know where it might be found . I am not sure its on here or not

Thanks in advance

The date he's referring to is 23-March-2006.

There are quite a few cars that put out over 225g/km of CO2 so would be in bands L (£460) or M (£475), but as they were registered before 23-March-2006, they are in band K (£270).

There have been rumours before that this concession would be done away with.

Bunch of s.

Even if it's a rumour, never a bad time to call the DVLA/HMRC a bunch of s.

Clearly a deliberate ruse to wipe the smug smiles from the pre-2006 owners' faces!

Fark, if this is true and it goes like prices in Ireland, it will be a very very sad day for motoring.

Second hand barge prices will be crippled.
to be honest, VED is a piss in the ocean compared to fuelling a thirsty barge.

With the prices going to the levels they are, they need to introduce a direct debit option on it frankly.

I think it's a load of old balls, I can't find anything about it.

The whole system is just completely unfair anyway. I'm in the process of selling my "Band M" car in part because I don't really wish to give the government nearly £500 a year for a piece of paper.

How does it compare to other European countries?

I think actual "stuck on the windscreen" tax here ain't that bad compared to many places - and the tax on new cars in many places is eye-gouging. In the grand scheme of things, tax has to come from somewhere - and if I'm not paying it on my car, it'll be my income, or VAT, or council tax or IHT, or CGT or or or...etc etc

I said that when i bought my brand new S2000 in May 2006 and got told in 2007 that my VED was going up from £250ish to £400. Bit of a joke to back date like that as i may of thought about buying a year old car.

I drive some eco wagon now as i got fed up paying extortionate prices for VED, insurance and fuel as the tax from it the govenment just wastes it on benefit fraudsters & red tape.

In Holland you pay depending on the weight of the car - and it's doubled for Diesels smile

Example: For an average 1600 Kg car in the more densely populated part of the country, you pay around 1100 euros a year for a petrol-engined car and almost 2000 for an oil-burner.

A 3 tonne diesel range rover costs around 4000 euros a year.

Yes, expensive.

I on the other hand refuse to be bullied out of doing what I want to do.

I'd sooner 'export' my car than trade it in it for a 70mpg dishwasher with wheels.

I wondered why mine was only £260ish, now I know why. It's a Dec '06. Very annoying if things change but to be honest it would have to go a lot higher to make me consider changing cars. It's pretty irrelevant compared to fuelling and good maintenance.

Hopefully it would be too much effort for them to implement.

I think the total price of tax can be an issue. That said a monthly dd option would be a brilliant idea.

Here in France for 366gm/km I pay 0,00 euro.

They abolished the tax over 10 years ago.
