Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

My brother in laws dad who is retired is £1,000+ a year worse off.


So much for NOT raising taxes, well 2029 can't come any quick so we can remove the lying party

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

Did he explain how he is losing £1000 per year because of this Budget?

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

I’ll take things they haven’t happened for £500 please

Also, they didn’t promise to not raise taxes they made a promise not to raise SPECIFIC taxes ie income tax and national insurance contributions for employees

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

As announced at Autumn Budget 2024, the government will introduce legislation in Finance Bill 2024-25 to change the Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) first year rates for new cars registered on or after 1 April 2025. These are as follows:

zero emission cars will pay the lowest first year rate at £10 until 2029 to 2030

rates for cars emitting 1g/km to 50g/km of CO2, including hybrid vehicles, will increase to £110

rates for cars emitting 51g/km to 75g/km of CO2, including hybrid vehicles, will increase to £130

all other rates for cars emitting 76g/km of CO2 and above will DOUBLE FROM THEIR CURRENT LEVEL.

These changes will apply from 1 April 2025.

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

Important point - the "bold" highlighting for doubling from current level will be for new cars only…

Did you read the fist part of Taff's post?

Read :shocked:

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

Yes, but it wasn’t emboldened, so I posted my comment to minimise confusion amongst those who only focused on the bit in bold…

tbf, in your neck of the woods, they believe the old duodecimal system was to match up with the locals’ number of toes… ;)

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

Yes he did

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

Corrected.

My 2019 car is ULEZ compliant (Euro category Euro 6d-temp CO2 emissions rating D - 121g / km), but if it was new it would get hammered by this doubling of VED.

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

If you can afford a brand new car, the VED is diddly squat.

I'd double the VED for every extra car in the household. The amount of houses with several cars and fronts paved over to make space for more is getting silly.

I wasnt aware of this until today

How ?

I thought the promise was not to raise them for working people ?

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

So how do they distinguish between those employed by the public sector and outsourcing where they're still working for the public sector?

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

They dont, apparently.

GPS have always been separate from the NHS.
I was thinking more along the lines of outsourced council services such as rubbish collection.
