Alistair Darling’s 2008 Budget has outlined changes to
vehicle excise duty - reclassifying vehicles according to the levels of carbon
dioxide they emit. While it should be good news for those with
environmentally-friendly cars, it will hike the amount paid by owners of
high-polluting vehicles who also face a "showroom tax" payable in the first year
they buy a new car.
