According to media perspectives, the new
car tax could alienate many voters and even turn into a
‘10p tax on wheels.’
Vehicle
Excise Duty is one of the driving expenses faced by UK
motorists, a list that includes
MOT,
car insurance, and in many cases
car finance .
The government proposals are for new bands relating to
Co2 emissions, with a different system for older
cars . At this stage, experts are confused over the exact
nature of the new system, and indeed the final structure is not yet
guaranteed not to change.
Experts in the
car market say that a graded system of VED is a good idea for
greener roads and to encourage
fuel-efficient cars . But, at this stage the VED tax is
confusing many consumers. A ‘retrospective’ VED tax
could hit many poorer motorists who cannot afford to change
their cars, experts warned.
Other
car
finance news last week indicated that
car finance sales actually increased for some companies.
