Why has my road tax gone up?

We received a renewal for road tax of £145 for our Suzuki SX4 S-Cross. I have just been to the post office to renew my car tax VED and they have charged me £155. Is this right?

This is correct, road tax VED increased on 1 April in line with inflation as part of the Spring Budget 2022. As a result, all standard petrol and diesel cars registered after 2017 now pay £165 per year, while hybrids pay £155: www.honestjohn.co.uk/news/tax-insurance-and-warran.../
