Exactly. There's no logical or environmental reason for the VED on EVs to be so high, especially when other, polluting, vehicles have much lower VED. So this change is nothing more than a money-grab by the Government, because the increase in EVs has led to lower fuel sales hence lower tax revenue from that source.

No real upset from me, if it was “road tax” - I know it isn’t no issue as I use the roads. Why an equally heavy old diesel gets away with zero idk.

Emissions basing always seemed odd anyway. Definitely a money grab

Dont forget to retax your EV's any time from tomorrow and before the end of March to get your last 'free' year of road tax.

JohnV6 · Feb 28, 2025

Oh yes I am looking forward to this small victory

Doesn't matter - unless it crashes then and is out for the whole month!

johnb80 · Mar 1, 2025

It didnt crash and both of mine are done.

HazardLights · Mar 1, 2025

BUMP Reminder this is the time to renew

Kenp1 · Mar 1, 2025

Just done mine, only gained a month as I only got the car last week, but still worth it.

JohnV6 · Mar 1, 2025

Done. Dead simple and the site was v fast

m4rmite · Mar 1, 2025

Yep, quick for me too.

L0rdMike · Mar 1, 2025

Remember to retax your car this month to make the most of not having to pay anything for a year.

Car tax, road fund

Paid it oh so very easy

Happy chappie is this one

Tax for zero - lemon squeezy

prawlin · Mar 1, 2025

Yup. Ditto. All done, quick and easy. Mine was due September 2025, is now March 2026

I expect we will see shedloads of meetoo messages this month. After that, this thread will presumably finally die off into cyberspace. Peter

Just done mine. I did not get any 'taxing early' warnings as mentioned at the beginning of this thread and the webpages showed the tax starting in April 2025 but the confirmation email states £0.0 and 12 months so happy. I'll wait a few days to check the database has updated.

That’s very odd! I certainly did on 2 process pages……
