Only on newly registered vehicles is the increased cost of road fund licence.

For cars registered from March 2001 onward (Y reg) tax is based on emissions in various bands. The existing highest band for petrol engines went up from around £170 to £195 and they introduced a new band for high emissions vehicles registered after March 2006 who pay around £225.

Older cars based on engine size came off well as did my 2002 Golf TDI - the tax on this went down by £5 to £110 for the year

ffs, RFL is such a miniscule part of the total cost of running a car, who cares!?

Bit tough on a newbie....LOL

I just got back from holiday on Sat' and my mate said you'll be happy with ole Gordon Brown...While you were away he has increased your RFL to £300.00

So I looked into it and as others have said my 1997 disco does not come into the new taxes. But When you are not working and on a small pension £300.00 would have been a lot to me!

I do most my own servicing and do less than 5K a year so I would have been well pi$$ed off to pay £300.00 for little use of the vehicle.

I pollute the country with my Harley 1450cc most the time....LOL
