    7.78 As with fuel duty rates, the Government today announces VED rates for this year and
    the next two years to further sharpen environmental signals to motorists to purchase more
    fuel efficient vehicles and continue to support the development of low-carbon market,
    including:
    • raising the rate for the most polluting cars (band G) to £300 in 2007-08 and
    £400 in 2008-09; and reducing the rate for low-carbon band B cars to £35 in
    2007-08, with that rate then frozen for the subsequent two years;
    • raising the rates for graduated bands C-E, cars registered before 2001 and all
    light goods vehicles by £5 in each of the next three years;
    • raising the rates for graduated band F by £10 in 2007-08, then £5 in each of
    the subsequent two years;
    • in 2007-08 only, freezing the rates for motorbikes in the lower band with
    higher bands increasing by £1-£2; and freezing VED rates for Heavy Goods
    Vehicles (HGV), Special Types Vehicles, Combined Transport Vehicles and all
    vehicle categories that are linked to the basic goods rate;7 and
    • aligning the VED rates for petrol and diesel cars as the differential in nitrogen
    oxides and particulate matter emissions for new cars is expected to fall to
    close to zero once Euro V and VI emission standards become mandatory.
    • Changes to this year’s VED rates take effect from 22 March 2007. All changes
    in subsequent years take effect from licenses commencing 1 April in the
    respective year.

    It seems that 4x4`s over 1 yr old will increase by £10 this year as only cars registered from April 06 are Band G.

    Hope it helps.

    I have a 4x4 estate that does 23MPG, Boss has an X5 that does 38MPG, we are just an easy target.
    What more polluting a new X5 or a 15yr old Mondeo??????

    Our cars don't count DKLS ;)

    When they say 4x4 they mean SUV. The emissions on my AWD evo are lower than my other car (with a bigger engine and half the BHP) so costs less in tax.

    I get stung on petrol though - only get 4-16mpg! :eek:

    I love my car!

    :D

    So does that mean our 2005 Nissan Terrano 4x4 can only be in band F?

    Hi there, yes you're right. Ive just checked and have also checked on the DVLA website http://www.vehiclelicence.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/ if you do on vehicle enquiry and then put in your registration number and make or car it will tell you how much your tax is now (after budget) and if you look at the link above it matches to a band. We are in band F and have a 2.9l Nissan Terrano.:T

    Many Thanks
