New VED from 1st April 2025

[Sideways Tim]

I know there's a shake up happening and that basically most cars will be £190 a year VED from then on, but I can't find anything about vans.
My Berlingo van is due to renew 1st march at a cost of £335. What I would like to know is will that change to £190 as of 1st April. Unless I'm being dim (quite possible) I can't find anything definitive anywhere.
Anyone know for sure?

Rate will increase with inflation to £345, details here: https://www.honestjohn.co.uk/car-tax/#2001to2017

I've read through that a few times, yet can't see any mention of vans being anything other than £195.

Hold on. Found something that I can both understand and believe on Parkers...

"Road tax – officially known as Vehicle Excise Duty or VED – is set at a flat rate for vans (and pickups).

For the 2024/2025 tax year (which runs from 1 April to the end of March) the cost is £335 for 12 months. This is a slight rise from the £320 for the previous year, but this was only a rise in line with inflation, tagged to the Retail Price Index.

Another increase in line with RPI will be applied from 1 April 2025, taking the annual cost up to £345. This will also apply to most electric vans at the same rate."

Seems daft that a non commercial Berlingo with the same engine and emissions will be £195, but there you go

Best to look at the source rather than a 3rd party interpretation:
