New car tax changes and VED rates launching in April will see drivers paying more for their vehicle registration.

The DVLA has sent out an urgent warning about upcoming car tax changes that will see motorists shelling out an additional £600 annually. Set to come into effect in April next year under the new Labour Party government, the revised car tax rates and Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) are part of a significant overhaul aimed at creating a "fairer" tax system.

Motorists could avoid paying hefty £590 per year car tax fees set to be introduced next Spring by planning ahead.

The DVLA has issued a warning to more than 1 million motorists across the UK as new car tax changes and VED rates are set to come into effect in a few months
