I had a Jaguar xf 5 years ago, and the car tax was £25. I bought a Jaguar XE because the XF wasnt available. I was a couple of pounds over the £40000, a mistake from the dealer. I have owned the car for 5 years now and the car tax has gone up to £600 Pounds. Both vehicles had the same engine. This is nothing to do with emmisions. People wake up we are being screwed by our own government.

VED is not a tax its a cash grab!

[@Showing_the_car_]

in France the VED is automatically added to the price of fuel, and has been for years... so grandad who uses his car once a week pays very little (as it should be) but people doing thousands of miles per year (and thus wearing roads out more and usually polluting more) pay a representative share. PLUS no admin BS from the DVLA, no paper reminder letters, and no way to avoid it, so no need to pay for systems to monitor VED. I just can't fathom why this isn't in place here...

[@marksweetman8765]

I've been saying this for years. More you use the more you pay. I have 2 cars that are over £400 to tax per year and they each only do 1000 miles per annum. The one I use the most ( around 5000 miles) only cost £20 to tax Ridiculous system

[@WillMorgan89]

Although I agree with this logic, those of us that live outside of cities (due to the cheaper house prices) will need to pay more VED in order to live/function a normal existence which is also unfair. We also pay a lot of duty on fuel already, so surely we're already paying per mile. Happy to have a robust debate on this.

I am German and my government did such tax shenanigans several times since 1990. In 1992 they invented the "Diesel Strafsteuer" which means "Diesel punish tax". They really named it that way. It was about the most antisocial thing you could imagine. They raised the displacement tax for Diesel cars about 300% from one day to the next. That had the immediate effect that the poor family paid about three times more tax for their decrepit Diesel Passat than the rich guy paid for his 350hp V8 car. That was an absolute nightmare. I had to get rid of my beloved old Mercedes W123 because they wanted more than 1000 DM tax for it per year. Before the "punish tax" it cost about 250 DM. And it is still like that. You have to pay about 35 Euros per 100cc of displacement for an Euro 3 Diesel car in Germany.

The Carbon ratings is utter B.S. A few years ago I had an MG ZS 180 V6. According to the government this car created 227 grams of CARBON (that's HALF A POUND!!!) In 1000 Metres!!! So... I took the car to the local flying club where a friend of mine was getting his plane certified with a permit to fly... part of this certification is the aircraft is FORENSICALLY WEIGHED. So... we weighed the MG ZS and drove it approximately 3,000 metres... whereupon it should have created 681 grams (ONE AND A HALF POUNDS OF CARBON SENT INTO THE ATMOSPHERE) Now, it should have shed much more weight than 1.5 pounds, obviously... you cant create this big black lump of death out of nothing. We re-weighed the car. It lost 88 grams. The government lies! What a surprise!

[@Solidsnake0208]

Not debating that the government lies, but don’t forget the car is burning oxygen with the fuel to produce the carbon dioxide.

[@McBenjiBoo]

I don't understand. are you saying this car should have weighed more? Or am I being dense and not realising this is satire.

[@khalidacosta7133]

Each carbon atom weighs 12u. Oxygen atoms weigh 16u. What you seem to forget is, CO2 is not entirely derived from the fuel. Fuel is a hydrocarbon, which upon combustion (assuming complete and perfect combustion which is impossible), each carbon molecule in the fuel, reacts exothermically with TWO oxygen atoms from the AIR the engine ingested, which coincidentally, Oxygen weighs far more. Secondly, "FORENSICALLY WEIGHED" means absolutely nothing. What were the scales accurate to? Nearest KG? Nearest gram? Nearest 500g? Third, the distance you drove, "around 3km". At such a short distance, it's absolutely meaningless. Fourth : Repeat experiments? You can't just run on example, you must repeat under the same conditions the vehicle got it's initial results from... which would be the NEDC test cycle, not some random 3km run, which could all be downhill... or uphill etc.

[@McBenjiBoo]

@@khalidacosta7133 My guess is that the 88 grams (which is probably within margin of error) is just the reduction in fuel in the tank. I can't understand why you think the car would weigh more. Otherwise old cars with over 100,000 miles on the clock would weigh tonnes more.

I may have nodded off but not sure you mentioned the expensive car tax (currently an extra £410/year from years 2 to 6) on ANY car with a list price when new of £40k or more (doesn't matter what you pay or if it's second hand). A lot of cars fall into this price bracket now including many electric cars though they only have to pay if bought new from April 25 so even less reason to buy electric. Btw, just an observation, putting up a list then reading it is not particularly interesting, quite a few people watching this can read though I get it is very helpful for blind & partially sighted so well done 😊

Anybody having studied high school science will know that CO2 is not a pollutant. It is an essential part of plant biology. Most people see cars as having some sort of monetary value. Depreciated or insurance value is a scam putting you in a cycle to keep purchasing new. The durability of new cars is compromised by cost cutting. The best car is a car built in the era of solid, reliable engineering. Even a new reconditioned engine is cheaper than the purchase of a whole new vehicle. Maintaining the vehicle you have will put you above the rest. Cheers

Of course, you could declare your car as SORN for a couple of days in March, then renew the VED at the current rate. What happens to the first year tax if the car is sold on after 6 months?
