Vehicle Excise Duty
The amount of Vehicle Excise Duty (road fund licence) payable on new cars varies depending on the level of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions produced by the vehicle. CO2 emissions are measured in grammes (g) per kilometre (km) travelled and are divided into charging bands as shown in the table below. From April 2010, the bands will be further separated and will include the introduction of a First-Year Rate.
