As you may be aware, Vehicle Excise Duty (or road tax to you and me) is being increased substantially for many "polluting cars" (ie cars big enough to carry your family in) from March 2009.
This is of course to encourage you to drive a more "eco friendly" car and is by no means a wheeze by the government to tax you more. Oh no.
Anyhoo, a tip if you find yourself in this boat and your tax is up for renewal in the next few months. Just renew for 6 months, then renew for a year in six months time, thus getting 18 months at the present, lower rate.
