Hiya

That looks accurate to me (and correct for my S5 based on its current tax rate on CO2) and reflects what I've read around modest increases for older cars. The biggest cash hikes are for post 1/4/19 registered high emitters (but that's only at first registration and once they've reached 5 years old it'll be a flat rate the same as anything else!)

Someone's got to pay for the Paris Climate Accord and all of it's architect's private jets and chaufered limos

***Includes cars with a CO2 figure over 225g/km but were registered before 23 March 2006. - phew!

There isn't much information about cars registered before March 1 2001, maybe they're going up by RPI/£5 since there's no CO2 info available for them to apply the extra £15 increase.

EDIT: Just looked here: https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/...pril-2019.html

Looks like a £10 increase next year.

Have to say the increases are doing my head in. I've owned my 4.2 tdi for about 13 months. Initially £520, then £540 and now going up to £555. As if the fuel prices aren't enough.
Big money for the 6000 miles I do.

Superb drive though, love it.

Gotta pay 91 euro's a month right now
