DVLA advises drivers to pay car tax before April rate increase
The new tax rates come into force from April.
The DVLA is urging drivers to pay their car tax before the new tax system comes into force, as it could leave people paying more.
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency issued a reminder on their Twitter and Facebook pages reminding drivers to pay ahead of the changes in a few weeks.
Come April, car tax is set to increase, as the Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) is set to match inflation levels.
Millions of people are facing increased financial pressures as the cost of living continues to rise.
The Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) is set to rise in line with inflation, and petrol or diesel vehicle owners will be hit with higher taxes to match the UK Government’s Net Zero target.
So, how much is your car tax going to increase by in April 2022?
