First year rates - Cars registered on or after 1 April 2010 (based on fuel type and CO2 emissions)
From 1 April 2010, anyone buying a new car will pay a different rate of vehicle tax for the first tax disc. These are known as 'first year rates'.
From the second tax disc onwards, the standard rate of vehicle tax will apply. This will send a stronger signal to the buyer about the environmental implications of their car purchase and will only apply to new cars, not already registered cars.

I love this bit, like your going to be just about to place your order for a 200, see that your paying £200 extra for your first years tax and suddenly go all environmentally friendly and buy a gee wizz.

The car must be taxed at the point of sale so pretty irrelevant as the garage will pay
Saying that the dealer will reflect it in the sale price so a new 59 Plate now appears to have been an even better deal (list price was reduced, scrappage schemed one of my runabouts and VAT was 15%)...

I agree with Bazzon, knock car tax on the head and tax fuel more.
In this country, to drive a car on the road you pay the following taxes:
Road Fund License (Car tax)
Fuel Duty
VAT on the fuel price and on the fuel duty
Insurance Premium Tax
and if you want to drive in the Capital, Congestion Charge.
Its not right I tell ya!

I agree. I know we all want cheaper petrol but i think we should only pay for what we use. Some people have cars that they dont use that often but pay same road tax as everyone else who drives more often. If we payed only for when we drive the car (petrol) then it would be a lot fairer system.
I still think petrol should be cheaper though.

But that doesnt solve the problem at all,
The problem is you can have a high tax band car because you like it but you may only drive 4000miles a years, yet the people with low tax band cars could be driving 40K a year.
Thats how i see it any how, therefore the Tax should be on the Fuel we use, becuase the more miles you drive the more tax you pay. This system would also help keep the type of cars we all like on the roads.

You may have seen this, but it makes pretty interesting reading on Evo a few months back...I agree with you on the fuel pump tax by the way.

dnt stop the royals and the goverment running around in v8 ranges lol
should be on fuel that you use not on vech size or c02 your right but it will never happen the system that is used at the moment is not used to be fair its the most profitable way of doing things. They can claim more tax from the user and the supplier this way. Motorists are always a target as they obviously have a ok job and ok income to have a car in the first place so they will always pay the charges no point in trying to tax the pennyless pikeys on stolen bikes is it
