My car is older, what tax?
The story mentions the standard rate for cars registered after April 2017. If your car is older, its Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) is based on its engine size or CO2 emissions, depending on its age. Many older, more polluting cars actually pay a higher annual tax than the standard rate.
