Everyone. 1st April for private buyers and 6th April for company car drivers.
Thanks - despite googling this, there does not seem to be a lot of clear info and what I can find seems to be aimed more at business/company users - I am a normal person though
My GTI order details say
CO2 emissions
CO2 emissions (NEDC): 143 g/km*
CO2 emissions (WLTP): 169.8 g/km*
Assuming I pick up before 1.4.20 I assume my vehicle will be taxed on the 143 figure, but if I collect from 1.4.20 onwards what would the additional tax be compared to pre 1.4.20 and who is responsible for any increase? Do these new rates only affect the first/initial year?
Based on those CO2 figures, for a petrol engines car first year VED rates;
- before 01/04/2020; £210
- on or after 01/04/2020; £530
Second year and subsequent years; current VED rate is a flat £145 (increases each year - was £140 last year) irrespective of CO2 emissions. The exception is if the list price of the car exceeds £40k, in which case there’s an additional VED charge on top of the £145 for five years from the start of year 2; this additional VED charge I think is £320. From year seven, VED reverts back to the lower (currently £145) amount.
