Car tax bands in UK are
based on carbon dioxide emission by your vehicle. Light goods and vehicles that
are registered before March of 2001 have their car tax rates based on the
engine size.

With growing concern
over how car CO2 emissions negatively affect environment, thirteen divisions
were made for car tax bands. Such categorization was based on CO2 emission
level on the car. Lettering is used to mark the differences in the car tax
bands. For example, tax band ‘A’ refers to the lowest emission cars with lowest
amount of yearly tax. Tax band M refers to the highest slab of yearly tax for
the vehicles having CO2 emissions over 255 g/km. So your selection of car
would make a major difference in terms of yearly monitoring costs based on tax
car band.

Road tax rates for new vehicles
Every new car with a tax
band anything ranging from A to D will cost its owner a zero tax rate for
the first year after being introduced on the road. The vehicles categorized
under E to G pay the same amount of tax for the first year after coming on the
road and it is considered as the standard road tax per annum. For all cars
under ‘H to M’ categories, you will have to cough out more in their first year
on the road than standard tax/year but that amount will be reduced in the
second year and drop further in subsequent years.

Electric, hybrids, LPG
or other alternative-fuelled vehicles can also see £10 reduction on
their road tax in the first year and a steady drop in the standard yearly
figure in years to come.

Dirty diesel tax in UK cities
Diesel cars are much popular
these days, outsmarting the demand for petrol alternatives. Now such growing
craze has seen a proposed £10 hike for the ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone).
It would have a serious impact on a large number of drivers in UK if they want
to head towards London with their cars and even other major cities.
