Wednesday, 21 March 2007, London: The chancellor will give the impression today that he is dealing with the “Chelsea tractor” by raising the top band of VED from £210 to £400 over the next two years. On the face of it - a dramatic increase, but the Environmental Transport Association (ETA) says it has 90 different models of 4x4 in its most recent Car Buyers Guide, published last week, and only half are in the top band (the rest are in bands E and F). Also, unlike the other bands, the top band (G) only affects cars under a year old. Two year old cars that would now be classed as band G are still classed as band F so will remain unaffected by the headline change. Less than 1% of cars would be affected by the band G increase.
so,
with most if not all of us in band f (185 g/km or above, (a td5 being 284)) your thoughts please
