Car tax bands
The lower the C02 emissions that your vehicle produces the cheaper your car tax will be - motors that contaminate the air the least are eligible for the lowest grade, Band A, and automobiles that are responsible for polluting the most sit in Band M, which is the highest band. Vehicles in Band A do not have to pay road tax. A few of these are electric cars but all of them can be driven around London without paying the congestion charge. Some Band A cars include the VW Golf Bluemotion, the Audi A3 Start/Stop 99, the Peugeot 207 Economique, Ford Fiesta Edge, Ford Fiesta ECOnetic and the Vauxhall Corsa ecoFlex. Owners with vehicles in the Band M category have to shell out the most money, which measure up to an annual £450 in some cases. Road tax discs that last for six months can only be bought for cars in Band D and above. Brand new cars bought this year in Bands A to D will not be liable to pay for road tax for a 12 month period - after the one year mark registered keepers will need to pay.
