According to the BBC website, the cars affected will be 'Band F' and Band 'G'
Band F are cars that emit more than 185 g/km (£10 rise)
Band G are cars that emit more than 225 g/km (un-reported rise)
Band F are cars that emit more than 185 g/km (£10 rise)
Band G are cars that emit more than 225 g/km (un-reported rise)
Talking of tax increses for cars with high emissions, did anyone watch the Great Global Warming Swindle on C4 about a week ago. Alot of important scientist have stated that CO2 is not causing the global warming. Just wondering what others thought.
Basically, the gas-guzzlers in the highest band next year face a whopping hike from £220 to £400. That's probably not going to upset too many people here (other than new Q7 owners perhaps) which is why the government have done it.
As we well know, 4x4s and other huge cars are soft targets for just about everyone these days; thieves, vandals, environmentalists and our dear government too, hence the price rise.

Yes James, I downloaded it after Peter Hitchens recommendation a couple of weeks ago.
Not only were there a lot of scientists on the programme saying that atmospheric CO2 concentration lags temperature rise,
they were from proper academic institutions like MIT, UCL and Cambridge, unlike the chaps in Gore's shock-flick (including himself with his liberal arts degree).
The whole man-made impending horror is just a way to guilt people into handing over more of their hard earned to the government.

Sorry, I have no sympathy for 4x4 owners, most ridiculous vehicles on the planet, they get all the abuse they deserve.
I'm presuming you're referring to the "off-road" genre of 4X4, i.e. Landcruiser, X5, Q7 types. If so, I agree 100% (unless, of course, you live in a remote rural area and/or actually use the thing off road)AndyMac said:

The Band F has gone up from £190 to £205 so not the nd of the world.
Regarding big 4 wheel drives, personally I don't care what anyone thinks. If I want one (I do to replace the family car B-class in 18months) I am going to buy one.

Worth remembering that if you car was originally registered before 1st March 2001 you remain on the flat rate scheme (TC11) no matter what the CO2 - and that has 'only' increased from £175 to £180 a year.
So if you had an S3, and it was registered 28th Feb 2001 as an X reg you pay £180; if it were registered 1st March 2001 as a Y reg you pay £205.

Yeah I saw it and apparantly global warming is to do with sunspot activity
In the 70s the temperature of the planet was actually falling and there was more greenhouse gases been pumped into the air than now.
Just another goverment con to get more money out of the taxpayer.
Does that mean all oil companies aren't evil? Damn, I'll have to go work for imperial tobacco...
When was your car registered? - if it was before 1st March 2001 (Y plate) then not a lot - car tax goes up a fiver.LottieA3 said:What does that mean to me? I am confused...
