Unless you are part of the minority who drive around in a car with C02 emissions that are less than 100 (g/km), you are likely to be seeing a rise in your road tax from today.
The government has now split road tax into 13 categories with prices ranging from £35 to £405 - for those looking to tax a vehicle that has emissions of 225.
You can check out the full list of prices and bands here..
Yesterday we read in the news that pot holes can be found every 120 yards on our roads, which sound similar to the statement: you are never more than 3 feet away from a rat. It may make you wonder what the hell does the money get spent on? My guess is traffic cones, who ever is in charge of traffic cones seems to be buying many more and placing them on my route to work.
If you want to check the price of your current car and you are not sure what your emission level is, why not find it on Carmony. You will find the data together with the running cost for a particular model. If you are not happy with your new road tax band why not search for a better model.
