New car tax rules to be introduced this weekend could see bills rise by thousands of pounds.<\/p>\n

Cars bought after Saturday 1 April 2017 will pay a one-off tax charge for the first year. The amount varies depending on the CO2 emissions of the vehicle, ranging between \u00a30 for electric cars, and \u00a32,000 for high emissions cars.<\/p>\n

From year two, drivers will be charged a flat fee of \u00a3140 a year, or \u00a30 for an electric car.<\/p>\n

Cars worth more than \u00a340,000 will also pay an annual supplement of \u00a3310 for five years, starting from year two.<\/p>\n

Cars bought and registered before 1 April will not see any changes to their tax bill, even after renewal.<\/p>\n

James Hind, founder of carwow, said: \u201cSome models will cost significantly more to tax each year, so there are long-term savings to be had by buying before the new system kicks in.<\/p>\n

\u201cHybrid cars and small petrol-powered city cars will be cheaper to tax if you buy before April 1.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
