Calm down dear!!
Read on and it tells you its only for new registered vehicles.
It also says the lowest band for the least polluting will be zero, to qualify all you need to do is walk!
Think it depends on when your car was built. After 2003 i think was when car manufacturers had to provide figures. Hopefully as my discovery and bmw
are older than that
So my 1999 2.0 T Diesel will remain the same (for now at least) ??
cheers,
Steve.

"Mr Brown made plain that the new band was not retrospective and did not apply to 4x4s and other heavily emitting cars bought before last April.
They were put into Band F and will remain there. "

At least I've just paid my £175 tax...
As far as all these gains or losses we are discussing are concerned, I wouldn't trust Wee Gordon to tell the truth as far as I could throw a

...in the end, I am sure we'll end up paying more.
