Drivers of these 59 cars warned car tax will be hiked to £5,490 in April

Drivers of these 59 cars have been warned their car tax will be hiked to well over £5,000 under the new Labour Party government. During the Autumn Statement, the Chancellor announced that Vehicle Excise Duty will be increasing from 1 April 2025 onwards. VED has been increasing since 2010 in line with inflation.

During her Budget statement last month, the Chancellor said VED (also known as road tax) first-year rates for cars registered after 1 April 2025 would be adjusted to 'strengthen incentives to purchase zero emission and electric cars, by widening the differentials between zero emission, hybrid and internal combustion engine cars'.

However, the supporting Budget document revealed that Ms Reeves' plot to extend the tax gap to greener vehicles is by doubling first-year VED rates - also known as 'showroom tax' - for petrol, diesel and many hybrid cars.

The Budget document revealed that all zero-emission electric cars will pay the lowest first-year tax rate of just £10 as part of increased efforts to convince drivers to go green.
