Drivers owning number plates registered between these dates could face £790 per year car tax bills just months into 2026. Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) fees rise every Spring in line with Retail Price Index (RPI) inflation with charges set to rise on April 1, 2026.
Petrol, diesel and electric car owners are all set to face higher charges with standard VED rates for models registered after 2017 expected to rise above their current £195 fee. However, slightly older cars registered between 2001 and 2017 will pay VED on a sliding scale based on vehicle emission rates with some paying almost £800.
