Some petrol and diesel drivers could be charged as much as £790
Drivers are being warned of new car tax changes being introduced next month that could see motorists slapped with extra charges.
From April 1, 2026, several huge car tax changes will launch, many of which will result in drivers facing higher car tax costs.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves outlined in the recent Autumn Budget that the rate of Vehicle Excise Duty would increase in line with RPI inflation in the new financial year.
Just weeks before the new rules are being rolled out, the Government has published the full list of price rises for motorists to prepare.
Millions of Britons continue to drive cars registered between March 1, 2001, and April 1, 2017, with many set to face an increase in costs.
Owners of the most polluting petrol and diesel vehicles, which produce more than 255g of CO2 per kilometre, will be slapped with the highest price increase.
Drivers who paid £760 for their VED last year will now pay £790, while owners of the least-polluting vehicles may not see a hike at all.
GB News has rounded up the new car tax rates for millions of drivers ahead of the changes on April 1, 2026.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves outlined other VED changes in the Autumn Budget, including for heavy goods vehicle drivers.
From April, VED for HGV drivers will be uprated in line with inflation, while the heavy goods vehicle levy will also be hiked on April 1, 2026.
However, not all changes will be introduced this year, including a tax exemption for search and rescue vehicles from April 2027.
The most controversial measure was the confirmation of Electric Vehicle Excise Duty (eVED), which will see EV owners pay 3p per mile and 1.5p for hybrid drivers from 2028.
