27.3.1 HEV Taxation
-
Vehicles rates equal to or are below 75 g/km are £25 or less, decreasing with respect to emissions levels.
-
Vehicles rates above 75 g/km are £110 or more, increasing with respect to emissions levels.
-
The Premium rate is a fixed £465 for CO2 emissions above 50 g/km, which all new HEV’s are.
-
The Standard rate (for <£40,000 vehicles) is a fixed £150 [17] for CO2 emissions above 50 g/km, which all new HEV’s are.
-
The £10 AFD does apply to both the Standard and Premium rates for HEV’s. So, there is a £10 saving per annum for HEV’s over ICE vehicles after the first year also.
