226-255                                 £1,700
Over 255                                £2,000

cars above £40,000 will have to pay £310 annual supplement for five years

the 2017 road tax changes – winners and losers

as the rule changes are designed to net the exchequer more cash from popular eco-friendly cars so it stands to reason that these are the vehicles the new rules will hit hardest ?

the 2017 changes will mean a car that is CO2 rated at 100g/km or lower – and thus free of road tax for life under the current VEHICLE EXCISE DUTY band system

will now cost its owner £400 over three years = £680 over 5 years or a whopping £1,380 over ten years

so if you can buy the same car before the April 1st deadline ?

you’d be mad not to
