The budget each year usually includes several decisions that affect the UK motor industry and drivers in the UK.

The Budget assesses every area of mass public expenditure and makes a series of decisions depending on the state of the economy. When it comes to the car industry, and the car finance industry, these decisions can have a powerful influence.

Furthermore, for consumers who are buying a car or who already drive, these decisions can strongly affect costs. The Budget often adjusts the fuel duty, which means the consumer can end up paying more or less for their petrol or diesel.

The Budget may also adjust Road Tax, a direct motoring expense for the consumer. In recent years, the Budget has also focused on CO2 emissions, with greater taxation levies on larger, less-economical vehicles.

The following guides illustrate how the budget from each year affects you as a motorist, car-buyer and potential car finance customer.

As Budgets from one year may affect several years going forward, it may be of use to read previous years' guides also.
