Will tax remain high on my 2016 Ford Mustang GT?

I’m looking for advice regarding my 2016 Ford Mustang GT car tax. I know that for similar cars sold after 1 April 2017, the car tax reduces considerably after 5 years but I believe this does not apply to my 2016 car. So does this mean a 2017 Mustang GT will be considerably cheaper to tax after 5 years while a 2016 Mustang GT will remain highly taxed for the rest of its life?

This is correct. The road tax VED system before 2017 is based on CO2 emissions. Cars registered under the latest system pay a flat fee that increases for 5 years if the list price exceeded £40,000: www.honestjohn.co.uk/cheap-road-tax/
