When we changed VED to an emissions based system, some cars were £40, £20 or even £0 a year to ‘tax’. That obviously caused a loss of revenue to the Government That changed again in 2018 when all cars are now at leas £165 to tax. In 2018 I bought a 1.0 litre car and was looking forward to cheap road tax so this is how I found out. The Government are not losing out on road tax and never will be if they’re charging ‘per vehicle’ in the future for zero emissions vehicles.
