Car tax changes and what they mean for drivers

Rachel Reeves announced new car tax measures that start on April 1, impacting millions of drivers who are unaware of the changes.
Research shows that 21.2 million drivers are uninformed about the new Vehicle Excise Duty rates, which could lead to an additional £83.5 million in tax payments.
The first-year tax for newly registered electric vehicles will be £10, while rates for higher emission vehicles will increase substantially, with some cars facing taxes up to £5,490.
Tom Banks advises drivers to consider low-emission cars to avoid hefty tax hikes under the new laws coming into effect.
