Default Car tax changes

Or VED, or rip-off tax, or whatever you want to call it.

So i've just noticed that it looks like newage owners are about to get shafted? Yes, I know the post-56 plate owners have been shafted for years, but those of us with a pre-56 plate car sat in the lower tax bracket for all this time.

My Bug WRX emits 242g/km, which puts it into Band L. I've looked back over my emails when i've re-taxed it (after being SORN'd) and it looks like its cost me:

2021 - £357
2023 - £415
2024 - £434

I think those numbers are based on paying monthly via direct debit, if I'd paid 12 months up front it would be cheaper.

So it looks from the doc below that it will be going up to £710 - or £745 if I pay monthly.

Seriously, WTF? It looks like they've got rid of the jump in 2006 and just lumped everything from 2001 - 2017 in one category.
