Car tax band - L'escargot
I've just had it pointed out to me how easy it was for the unwary to buy a car in the past only to find out it's in tax band G. In 2002 a friend bought a 2 litre Daewoo Tacuma new and it's in band G ~ tax this year £300, next year £400 ~ whereas my 2003 (also 2 litre) Focus is only band F ~ tax this year £205, next year £215.

Incidentally, when do the new rates apply for 2008?

No, your friend's car is band F.

Band G only applies to cars registered after it was introduced (March 2006).
