Hidden in the budget there was a plan for a consultation to reverse the current car tax for vehicles over £40k bought after april 2017.
At the moment you pay a first year tax based on the emissions ,then £515 per year for 5 years and then a flat rate of £145 from then onwards.
The new thing they are on about bringing in and "backdating "the tax change is .. All cars over £40k (except electric) will pay the first year emissions related tax which will then carry on at that cost for the life of the car. So if you bought a car in 2017 and are waiting for the tax to drop to £145 in 2023 you might be in for a rude awakening as it could go up to £2000 per year.
 
I am not sure that is correct. First year tax will rise to £2,175 and then £150 PA plus premium for cars over £40k but nothing for retrospectively applying to older cars. Do you have a link to the article?
 
Of course, this will bring on the law of unintended consequences - if I'm paying £2000 to tax my car do you think I'll leave it sitting on my drive whle I pay even more to travel on a smelly, crowded bus or train? No public transport for me at that price, thank you!

And if they make it retrospective, I hope they also include the pre-2006 vehicles that have high emissions.

Yes , yet another really well thought out idea from those in power that will mean that cars with a bigger engine will have cheaper tax than a smaller engine .
So you might as well have a 500bhp jag for less tax.
 
So eco-madness has crossed the channel to your kingdom even after cutting off from the EU..
All hope is lost for civilization.. .. Is old my old Discovery 3 last december. I was paying € 3000
and this would go up to € 3500 since it did not have a DPF. Now a Dutchman living in Luxembourg
owns it, pays € 250 in roadtax per year. But most of his clients are in NL so he drives 20.000km
per year in NL.. .. I did 5.000Km and the rest abroad...

For the P300 I pay € 86 pm , for the F-Pace € 98 pm and for the BMW € 55 . So we drive 3 cars for
60% of the tax I paid on the D3. We now do about 25.000km in the Netherlands as my 3 adult
kids drive all three too...
