Calculating car tax - Vehicle tax prices

Car tax bands

The fewer C02 emissions that your vehicle creates the lower your car tax payment will be - motors that cause the least pollution are in Band A, the lowest band, and automobiles that are responsible for polluting the most sit in Band M, which is the highest band. Vehicles that qualify to sit in Band A do not have to pay road tax. Some of these are electric cars but all are free from the congestion charge in London. The Peugeot 207 Economique, Ford Fiesta Edge, Ford Fiesta ECOnetic, the Vauxhall Corsa ecoFlex, the VW Golf Bluemotion and the Audi A3 Start/Stop 99 are a handful of the cars in Band A. Motorists with vehicles in the Band M bracket have to pay the largest amounts, which can reach figures of beyond £450. Only cars in Band D and above qualify for 6 months road tax. Brand new Band A, B, C and D cars will not have to pay for road tax for 12 months - beyond this point registered keepers will be required to pay.
