Road Tax. Post General Election

You'll continue to get the benefit of driving one of the best SUVs ever made, grossly under-rated by most people 😉
Not only the best tug I’ve ever owned but almost unlimited get up and go when needed plus very reasonable mpg.
The V 10 engine was even better, with minimal increase in fuel cons, but I don't know about VED.
Is that all?
You got away lightly, C's 1993 RAV4 went up to £415 last time in June as for the next time I haven't looked yet.
Was the increase done by the present lot or a hangover from the last lot? The RAVs increase was the last lot.
I think fuel usage is considerably more on the V10 as the annual VED is £700 - they are getting long in the tooth now with many ordinary jobs needing the engine taking out!
I'd have bought the V8 TDi rather than the V6 but VW UK decided not to sell it here - it gets good reports as a towtug in Australia.
The last couple of annual changes were based on the rate of inflation
They were announced my Mr Hunt of the previous government in March.

Not that I know of.
I’d look on it as a compensating charge that counterbalances the increase to employees NI payments that were introduced in 2022 to create the NHS and Social Care fund. Then earlier this year they were effectively dropped as a pre election giveaway. So your increase in VED could be used to support the NHS/Social Care. 😂
Isn't that effectively covered by the recent increase in employers NI ?
Was it an actual increase or was it just putting it back to where it was before the pre election give away?
No sympathy for you, buying German, remember the war.
Not many of us are that old!
A lighter wallet!
No because that increase isn’t being ring fenced for the now dead NHS and Social Care Fund.
