Vehicle Excise Duty is changing as of April 1st 2025
If you are considering purchasing a brand new Land Rover in the next few months, it is important that you know of some significant changes to vehicle excise duty (VED), which are effective as of April 1st. These changes are only applicable to brand new vehicles, and will only affect the cost of your VED for the first year that the car is registered. That being said, there are some significant increases across all emissions tax bands that are worth being made aware of. By registering your vehicle by March 31st, you are ensuring that you will not be affected by these changes, and that you will pay the current first year VED rate.
The table below details the price for each emission band at the current rates, and the rates effective as of April 1st 2025:
