New vehicle tax rates have been unveiled which will result in British drivers paying more to ensure their cars are suitable for the road.
As of today, April 1, 2024, new tax rates will come into effect which could see drivers fork out hundreds or even thousands of pounds to keep their vehicles out and about.
The Government confirmed in the Autumn Statement that it would be increasing the rate of Vehicle Excise Duty by the retail price index (RPI).
GB News has rounded up how much drivers will pay for their vehicle tax over the coming year based on the emissions output and engine size of their vehicle.
