Estimating car tax - Cost of car tax

Car tax bands

The smaller the C02 emissions that your vehicle generates the smaller your car tax payment will be - motors that result in the least pollution are placed in Band A and automobiles that are known to pollute the most feature in the highest grade, Band M. Road tax does not have to be paid by vehicles in Band A. Some of these are electric cars but all are free from the congestion charge in London. The Audi A3 Start/Stop 99, the Peugeot 207 Economique, Ford Fiesta Edge, Ford Fiesta ECOnetic, the Vauxhall Corsa ecoFlex and the VW Golf Bluemotion are just some of the cars in Band A. Registered keepers with vehicles in Band M have to pay the largest amounts, which can hit figures of over £400. Six months of road tax can only be bought on cars in Band D and above. Cars in Band A to D that are brand new will not have to pay for road tax for 12 months - beyond this point registered keepers will be required to pay.
