Apart from the high petrol and diesel rates that motorists have to pay in order to enjoy their comfortable car rides they will now have to pay increased road tax which will be calculated by the amount of CO2 emitted by their car. Under this new car tax system passed by the government the cars will be divided under car tax bands as per the amount of CO2 emitted by each car. The limit for the CO2 emission and the amount that each motorist will have to shed is set by the government.

The government has set car tax bands categorizing them from A to M depending on the CO2 emitted per km by a car. For instance a car emitting 0-100 g/km of CO2 will come under band A and will be saved from paying any road car tax. While, if your car emits 100-110 g/km of CO2 it falls under band B and you will have to pay £ 20 in the name of car tax. As the amount of CO2 emitted by your car keeps increasing so does the amount that you have to pay as car tax. For example, if you car falls under band F, i.e., it emits 141-150 g/km of CO2 you will have to pay £120 in the first year and £125 in the consecutive years. The highest that you will have to pay is £440 in the first year and £950 in the second year and £455 in all consecutive years if your car falls under band M i.e., your car emits 225+ g/km of CO2.
