    Hey @martymart, I was wondering if you could clarify what you mean if that's okay? I don't believe I've seen much news recently about any car tax changes!

    I tried searching just now to see what there was, but all I could find were articles talking about "Labour have plans" but there doesn't appear to be a single article that links to a statement or policy plan from the government to actually implement this.

    I think until that happens it's a little speculative and fear-inducing to suggest this is happening! Unfortunately quite common in the media lately.
