Vehicle Tax rate for Band K cars registered 23/3/06
Discussion
Does anyone know for sure if this exception is really going away? I've heard plenty of inuendo, but haven't seen anything concrete.
I've checked the direct.gov site [url=http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/OwningAVehicle/HowToTaxYourVehicle/DG_10012524]here[/url] but there's no mention of if and when it will be lifted.
Pretty much every car I'm looking at to replace the Elise is in this band, so I'd like to know if I'll be paying almost double any time soon. Anyone know even where I could check?

Not sure if this is a help to anyone, but got this via email yesterday yesterday:

He giveth, and taketh away (as far as I can interpret it)...From the budget 2009:
Chancellor said:
As announced at the 2008 Pre-Budget Report, with effect from 1 May, vehicle excise duty (VED) for cars registered from 1 March 2001 onwards will be reformed, as set out in table 8a. Cars emitting over 225g CO2 per km, that were registered between 1 March 2001 and 23 March 2006, will be placed into the new band K and stay there in 2010. With effect from 1 April 2010, differential First-Year Rates of VED will apply to new cars. (aq)
