As we enter a new tax year, many things are due to go up in price, including taxes for cars, vans, and motorbikes.
Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) - otherwise known as car tax - will increase in line with the Retail Price Index (RPI) inflation of 10.1 per cent from April 1. Meanwhile, VED rates for lorry drivers will be frozen from the same date.
All registered vehicles in the UK are obliged to pay car tax. Motorists have the choice to pay 12 months upfront, every six months, or monthly, the Mirror reports.

How much you pay will depend on when your car was registered and how much carbon dioxide emissions it produces. For example, the car tax rate for a vehicle registered from March 2001 and before April 2017 that produces 121 to 130g/km of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions would be £135 for the year.
In some cases, vehicles are charged £0 for tax. If this includes your vehicle you will still need to renew your vehicle every year with the DVLA.
Such cars that aren't charged car tax include brand new vehicles that produce zero CO2 emissions and are proved less than £40,000. For cars registered between March 2001 and before April 1, you’ll pay £0 for car tax if your vehicle produces up to 100 grams of CO2 per kilometre driven.
