It's not just EVs that can be taxed early!
Lots of discussion about taxing EVs early to avoid paying for another year but I've just taxed our Peugeot 108 1.0l petrol that is due to rise from free to £20 tomorrow following the same instructions as the EV discussions.
Tax was due in July so dodged 9 months of payment 😁

Got to wonder why it will be cheaper to tax a petrol car than an EV.0

ididgetwhereiamtoday said:Got to wonder why it will be cheaper to tax a petrol car than an EV.On average it won't be.Pre 2001 petrol/diesel cars pay either £220 or £360 depending on engine size (obviously more than £195)Between 2001 - 2017 they pay between £20 and £750 depending on fuel consumption.HMRC could have made a blanket ruling that all cars should pay £195, but someone did the sums and realised that overall they would lose money, so they left everything pre-2017 as it was (except they raised the zero band to £20 and removed the £10 discount for alternative fuels to rake in a bit more cash)So some petrol & diesel cars will be cheaper- (bands A-D) but most won't be.(Pre-2017 EVs are now £20)I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....
