Everything You Need to Know About the Upcoming VED Changes



At Rockar, we believe in keeping things simple, transparent, and stress-free for our customers. With the government introducing changes to Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) from April 1, 2025, we want to ensure you’re fully informed about what this means and how you can avoid unnecessary costs.


What Are the VED Changes?

Vehicle Excise Duty, or road tax, is a fee paid by vehicle owners to the government. From April 1, 2025, VED charges will increase for all newly registered vehicles. This adjustment primarily affects the first-year registration cost, which is determined by your vehicle’s CO2 emissions.



How Will This Affect You?


Deliveries Before March 31, 2025

If your vehicle is registered before March 31, 2025, the current VED rates apply, and you won’t be affected by the upcoming increase.


Deliveries After March 31, 2025

For vehicles registered after this date, the new, higher VED rates will apply. While this only impacts the first year of ownership, it’s an important factor to consider when planning your purchase.
