Petrol and diesel vehicle owners will face a dramatic increase in car tax, seeing a rise of up to ten times starting from this date.

Car insurance specialists and breakdown professionals at the RAC indicate that drivers in this group could experience a tenfold increase in their premiums.

They verified that the increase would affect numerous hybrid vehicles equipped with both an electric battery and an internal combustion engine. 

They elaborated: "The most significant update is the tenfold rise in first-year car tax rates for vehicles that emit between 1-50g/km of CO2, which encompasses hybrids." 

"The current fee of £10 for petrol and diesel vehicles (and zero for hybrid models) will rise to £110. Most plug-in hybrid vehicles are included in this category."

“The fees for new vehicles that produce between 51-75g/km of CO2 will rise from £30 (or £20 for hybrid models) to £135.”
