road tax up to £300, rising to £400 next year.
Like the previous poster I have a 2.0 TD suzuki grand vitara, I get nearly
40mpg and I do very few miles per year (approx 4000)
However a car is essential, we are 130 miles from the nearest city, 90 miles
from the nearest railway and decent hospital. Our roads are pot-holes and
narrow/twisty.
I now view it as a rural tax..surely that is illegal under EEC human rights
rules? |

For band G. Not for 4x4s. The VED on my own 4x4 will rise a fiver over
each of the next three years, from the current £110/yr.

Which isn't band G. It's Band F. Which is going up a tenner.

I'd suggest that that's irrelevant - If you do so few miles annually,
you obviously don't go there much.
<shrug> If it's an issue, move house. Or buy a more economical vehicle.

Also bear in mind that the bands system is only implemented for
vehicles registered on or after 1st March 2001. Band G is only
applicable to vehicles registered on or after 23rd March 2006.
There are tax tables on the following link, although not up-to-date
with the new budget yet.
http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/OwningAVehicle/HowToTaxYourVehicle/DG_10012524
It's not entirely clear but it looks like private/light goods vehicles
registered before 1st March 2001 (all of mine) still stay at one of
two rates. A shame really as my audi would cost me £140 instead of
£180 if it was treated under post-March 2001 rules.

Yes, I know they're going up (although I hadn't really bothered to
check by how much), I meant there are still only two rates for cars
prior to those dates, one for below a certain threshold, another for
on or above the threshold.
It'll be fun to see which family runabouts will be paying more VED
than my honking great big 6-wheeler ;-)

BTW I think it's going up three times by a fiver for the next *2*
years, once with pretty much immediate effect, then again in about a
year, and once more in a further year. Doesn't make much difference
either way.

Well my Volvo V70 Estate will, at 234 g/km it falls into the "Gas Guzzler"
band.
Even though it averages 32 mpg.
At least my ancient 4.0 litre V8 Range Rover stays in the £180 band so that
evens it out a little.
