Osborne quoted as saying that current tax levels "were unsustainable". Looks like tax will drop for cars over 3....5?... years old to circa £200, but new cars hit with initial charge!

Only 'sustainable for those who can buy new?

These are the rates for cars registered on or after 1 April 2017:

 

This measure reforms Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) for cars first registered from 1 April 2017 onwards. First Year Rates (FYRs) of VED will vary according to the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of the vehicle. A flat Standard Rate (SR) of £140 will apply in all subsequent years, except for zero-emission cars for which the SR will be £0. Cars with a list price above £40,000 will attract a supplement of £310 on their SR for the first 5 years in which a SR is paid. All cars first registered before 1 April 2017 will remain in the current VED system, which will not change. The new rates and bands for the post-2017VED system are set out in the table below:

New VED system - for cars registered from 2017
Emissions (g/CO2/km)	First year rate	Standard rate*
0	£0	£0
1-50	£10	£140
51-75	£25	£140
76-90	£100	£140
91-100	£120	£140
101-110	£140	£140
111-130	£160	£140
131-150	£200	£140

Yes thats right.

The way I see it though, if you can afford to change your car every few years you can probably afford the extra £310 per year.

What car are you thinking of buying? Manufacturers wont drop their list prices.

On a side note - buy a car in March 2017 and you get the current VED rates

Either way it's going to cost around £400-500 if you go past April 2017. Aim for March 2017 and you'll be better off
