Green tax questions
THERE is no consistent pattern to the increases in Vehicle Excise Duty, according to website www.cleangreencars.co.uk
The changes in road tax are said to be intended to persuade consumers to buy less polluting cars by making road tax progressively more expensive for higher polluting models.
However, the biggest tax increase is the £60 from band C to D, yet band D is where the EU says most cars should be. For the most polluting cars in band M there is only an additional £25 penalty so the owner of a Porsche Cayenne Turbo with 358 g/km of CO2 will pay only fractionally more than a band L Renault Espace 2.0 T Auto emitting 234 g/km of CO2.
