Have I missed something or is this fake news. The Birnigham Live as quoted that the VED for a V8 Range Rover will rise to an eye watering £5264 in April 2025.

If you're spending over £100k on a car, is it really an issue?

That's what they are betting on but it's not really the point. The vehicle tax system isn't really fit for purpose. Like so many gov things

Oh, don't get me wrong, totally agree with that, it's all too high, my dream is to get a car over 40years old, V8 of course.

A mate used to have one of the original early 1970s Range Rovers, he wore it out in 2 years!

On top of that, if the new car costs in excess of £40K there is an extra £410 PA payable from the second year to the fifth.

Thanks guys for a bit of clarification, but the article mentioned the Co2 output of the vehicle, which the new ones are greatly reduced somewhat, could this affect older vehicles, I hope not.
