UK citizens will now have to shed their pockets a little more in order to pay the upgraded car tax prices. Not many of them are very happy with the government's this decision as they may not be able to catch up with the increased prices. The new tax order is relatively high and is designed to discourage people from driving fuel based cars that are posing a threat to the environment.

CO2 to Determine Your Car Tax

As per the new tax regulations every car owner will have to pay car tax prices according to the amount of CO2 emitted by their car. By taxing people more and pinching their pockets the government is affirmative that it will be successful in sending across its message and also keep the environment clean. In addition, to the increased car tax prices government also wants to encourage people to make use of hybrid and green cars as these make use of renewable sources of energy. In the new taxing plan the government has given the owners of hybrid and green cars a special rebate, under which they will be exempted from paying taxes.

13 Car Tax Bands

The revised car tax plan is as follows. Under this system the tax bands have been increased from seven to thirteen. Cars which fall into revised car tax bands A, B, C and D will have to pay nothing in the first year, with bands B to D attracting a £20 to £95 rate thereafter. Similarly, the cars that will come under tax bands E to G will have to pay £115 to £155 from purchase. Vehicles that will fall under band H to M will pay a premium rate of car tax, ranging from £250 to £950 in the first year, with future years payments dropping to between £180 to £455. In addition, a tax cut for drivers of alternative-fuel cars in 2009, will range from £15 to £20, however from 2010 this discount will be a £10 flat rate.

Increased fuel prices are the talk of the town. It has not only had an impact on the car running costs but has also hugely affected the pockets of car owners. In addition there are new car tax rates implemented by the UK government. As per the new law the running costs will vary from car to car depending upon various factors that include the number of miles you drive, your insurance policy, how reliable your car is etc. Unfortunately this is also one of the taxes that we all have to pay for, and its about 100 pounds a year for a reasonably non polluting car, the car tax increases slightly for the large, gas guzzling cars. With these two factors in place that driving your dream car is definitely going to be a little more expensive now.

The new car tax prices have made car owners cautious of using their cars as now they need to pay taxes according to the tax band their car fits into.

Though it is a difficult task to calculate tax prices keeping all the variants in mind but at the same time you should have a reliable method to do these calculations yourself.

Would you like a car that offers over 100mpg? How about CO2 emissions of just 59g/km? That’s what we had the chance to drive yesterday. Two things shouldn’t come as a surprise though: it was a Toyota hybrid, and it carried the familiar Prius badge. But this was unlike any Prius we had experienced before. This was Prius PHV.

We should say first off, this is a very special hybrid. Prius PHV is a glimpse of what Toyota will be offering a limited number of customers from 2012 - a mass-production hybrid car that can be plugged in and charged from a domestic electricity supply. The Prius PHV we drove is part of a 20-car lease programme that is being run the UK by Toyota and EDF Energy over the next three years.

Car Tax Prices

Apart from the high petrol and diesel rates that motorists have to pay in order to enjoy their comfortable car rides they will now have to pay increased road tax which will be calculated by the amount of CO2 emitted by their car. Under this new car tax system passed by the government the cars will be divided under car tax bands as per the amount of CO2 emitted by each car. The limit for the CO2 emission and the amount that each motorist will have to shed is set by the government.

The government has set car tax bands categorizing them from A to M depending on the CO2 emitted per km by a car. For instance a car emitting 0-100 g/km of CO2 will come under band A and will be saved from paying any road car tax. While, if your car emits 100-110 g/km of CO2 it falls under band B and you will have to pay £ 20 in the name of car tax. As the amount of CO2 emitted by your car keeps increasing so does the amount that you have to pay as car tax. For example, if you car falls under band F, i.e., it emits 141-150 g/km of CO2 you will have to pay £120 in the first year and £125 in the consecutive years. The highest that you will have to pay is £440 in the first year and £950 in the second year and £455 in all consecutive years if your car falls under band M i.e., your car emits 225+ g/km of CO2.
