Drivers should be prepared to pay more to keep their cars on the road from tomorrow as car tax prices are set to rise.
As part of Spring budget 2023, Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) will increase by 10.1 per cent in line with the Retail Price Index (RPI) from April 1. While rates can vary, petrol and diesel drivers' standard rate of car tax will increase from £165 to £180.
Car tax must be paid for all registered vehicles in the UK and it can be paid upfront in one payment, twice a year or every month. Experts say this increase will put more strain on drivers who are already enduring high motoring costs.
