Drivers hit with £2,605 car tax warning for vehicles registered after this date

New laws came into force on April 1 which will see some drivers face a huge jump in how much they pay to keep their car on the road.

Car tax - or Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) - increased is in line with Retail Price Index (RPI) inflation of 10.1% of April 1.

The only exception is electric cars and vans which will remain tax-exempt until 2025, so those who drive these vehicles won't see an increase.
