Locate specific details regarding car tax bands to work out how much tax you should be required to fork out for your vehicle.
The fewer C02 emissions that your vehicle creates the cheaper your car tax 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. These vehicles are exempt from the London congestion charge and some of them are electric. Some Band A cars include the VW Golf Bluemotion, the Audi A3 Start/Stop 99, the Peugeot 207 Economique, Ford Fiesta Edge, Ford Fiesta ECOnetic and the Vauxhall Corsa ecoFlex. Drivers with vehicles in the Band M remit have to fork out the most cash, which measure up to an annual £450 in some cases. Road tax discs that last for six months can only be bought for cars in Band D and above. Brand new Band A, B, C and D cars will not be liable to pay for road tax for a 12 month period - after the one year mark vehicle owners will have to pay.
