Road Tax From 2025. We explain how the uk's 2025 car tax and vehicle excise duty (ved) road tax systems work. From april 2025, the standard road tax rate will rise in line with inflation, but new car buyers will face a significantly higher bill if their vehicle exceeds the 75g/km co2 threshold.

Instead, they will be taxed in much the same way as other vehicles. From 1 april 2025, registered keepers of electric, zero or low emission cars, vans and motorcycles will need to pay vehicle tax in the same way as registered keepers of petrol.
