Increase threshold for car tax surcharge to cars with a list price of £45,000

Petition Details

We ask the government to raise the threshold for the additional £390 tax from cars with a list price of £40000 to those with a list price of £45000. Many households needing to buy new family sized cars will already be stretching to pay the cost, let alone an extra £32.50 a month.

Additional Information

As it stands if you purchase a new car with a retail price of £40,000 or more you will be subject to £390 a year EXTRA road tax bringing it to over £500 a year for some people.

Considering inflation being the way that it is, many family size cars are now into and over the £40000 bracket for even some of the more basic models. Especially if you want to purchase a hybrid vehicle to “help the planet” you are likely to be going over the £40000 margin meaning an extra £32.50 per month.
