LOL.... errr no...
With a V8 and the natural petrol rise I think your Diesel increase will be a drop in the ocean.

I am pretty sure we had the same panic last year , when the tax codes changed ....:p:p..from what I rea dit is only "new" cars that do not meet the stds.

I too would love to see a link where older cars are going to get hit.

ive just been reading more into it its a bit naughty though i friend of mine with a 2017 motorhome is not happy i think my 200 tdi is ok for a while :))
 
I may be wrong but from what i've read my tax is going to rise from £515 to £1120. very little clarity in this as is normal for any politiscroat
 
  • Vehicle excise duty for cars, vans and motorcycles registered before April 2017 to rise by inflation
  • Vehicle excise duty for new diesel cars not meeting latest standards to rise by one band in April 2018
  • Tax hike will not apply to van owners
  • Existing diesel supplement in company car tax to rise by 1%

I understood what you quoted...LOL, I think the give away was the word "new" in the sentence. I am guessing @The Mad Hat Man did not read it that carefully.
Seems every Year people have a mad panic about road tax...........and then have to have it explained for the next 6 months, the same thing happened last year when they brought in the "current" system......Here we go again..:eek::eek: Second post about this as well.

Cheers
