Car Tax Prices

[Keyz]

So, after a conversation in my local last week about car tax, I went online for a look and its still not very clear to me. I have not found anything on here about this either but does anyone know exactly how these new prices are going to affect us?

Currently, my 2010 A3 costs £30 a year to tax, does this mean in November when I renew my tax I have to pay £140 a year?

No. Only affects cars REGISTERED from April 1 2017.

My mate reckons if you buy a car after the 1st it affects all cars. He said it would be £500 a yr then £140 after but all depends on emissions level. Sure he got this totally wrong.

No. Only NEW cars registered from April 1 2017. Used vehicles aren't affected.

The way vehicle tax is calculated will change for cars and some motor homes that are first registered with DVLA from 1 April 2017.

The change won’t affect any vehicles registered before April

Not much incentive to buy a new car then.
