@@_Anime_Shortz fair points. However, I simply meant that a jump in VED that represents 2% or less of the purchase price of the vehicle for someone in the market for a £100k plus car is hardly likely to affect their purchase decision. That's less than the cost of many of the option packs on Range Rover. Whereas, even a couple of hundred quid more tax for someone in the market for a £20k supermini may well give them cause to delay their purchase, look to the second hand market etc etc.

Morning Jim, you may be ‘just a RUclipsr’ but you talk a lot of sense! I am totally disillusioned at the moment so did not follow the budget news, so thank you for explaining it for vehicles. My son in law was thinking of a company car salary sacrifice and this may change his mind. I empathise re the cold as hopefully towards the end of mine post flu jab!
Tax is always an emotive issue. It was clear that the previous government underfunded just about everything. Some catch-up was needed. My biggest gripe is the ease with which the ultra wealthy seem to have numerous legal ways of avoiding tax on income and wealth, whilst the rest of us, especially PAYE have to accept it.
Over the course of recent history in most parts of the world you will see that whenever significant economies have grown it has been largely due to stimulous rather than an increase in taxation. If people have more money in their pocket they will generally spend it, creating jobs, genrating more tax revenue than simply taking it from them at source.
I think you miss the fact that we should be supporting the economy and not stifle it. Basically the budget has no new ideas and it is the continuation of the status quo
If wanting to stick with ICE, and wanting to buy not lease, then all the more reason to not buy brand new, and to buy cars that are already 1 year old.
Cheers Jim firstly congratulations on 54k subscribers as for the budget same as usual screw the cash cow motorists as for the fuel cost ideas all that would happen is that petrol retailers would just threaten to put the tax free price of fuel then the idea would be quietly dropped should ask the supermarkets why branches within 6 mile can vary between £1.29 and £1.43 per litre !!!
Problem with getting drivers to go down the EV route is they, the government, will be missing out on the exorbitant petrol/diesel vehicle tax so will have to then hit the EV drivers. I believe it was the last government that mentioned that a few years back.
Saw this little scam today at a shell garage...billboard says 142p a litre for diesel. Pump small print says 168p a litre. Who the hell checks before using it, so Watchout!
I kind of get what the government is trying to do with regards to the EV Infrastructure....but there are issues here, big ones....EV sales are plummeting, The Power Grid nationally is simply not up to the requirements that would be expected of it .....assuming we all suddenly purchased EV's, and has anyone considered what's going to happen to the Millions of Dud Car Batteries which apparently cannot be recycled!
Well! you're pretty much wrong on just about everything you've written there. May I suggest that you do some research, that doesn't include some bloke from down the pub. Or some ones brothers mate said.
EV’s a very good idea but they're expensive, and the charging infrastructure in the rural parts of the land is pretty much non-existent. Notwithstanding the fact that public charge points are a rip off, that's if you can find one and if it's actually working. or there isn't a massive queue to get on it.
It depends where you live. I live in a rural part of Scotland but every little village has at least one charger and my small town (pop 9000) has 16 chargers. In over 5 years owning EV's I've never had to queue. Where have you had issues charging?
I thought the working people would not see any change to their payslip or tax, company car drivers certainly will, maybe they fall outside of the working person defenition. The premium tax applying to EVs is perverse, very few are below £40k, so this will discourage uptake. Some will think this a good thing.
Who can afford a new car. Nowadays people don't need to drive for work. We have video calling, saving a company time and money. Meaning people can spend time with family and not in a car polluting the plant. We need to get cheaper trains. Far less stressful than driving, a lot more healthier for the planet and yourself. We only have one planet. Look after it and get out of that car and exercise. You don't want to have a stroke before 50.
I wouldn't mind paying higher tax if things worked but nothing does nowadays. You can't drive anywhere without delays due to roadworks that nobody seems to be working on. Roads are in bad condition, healthcare is a shambles...
It never ceases to amaze me that every time there’s an election millions of people vote Labour, then they spend the next 3 or 4 years moaning about them - STOP VOTING LABOUR !!!!!!
The people buying luxury cars won't blink, but the rest of us suffer, more proof that Labour hate the working man and love the rich, as after all most of them are millionaires.
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru life’s too short! And there are many better countries out there. Unfortunately the uk has peaked and it’s just not worth being here anymore
Basically this bunch of self seeking tricksters we call a government , doesn't give a toss about the ordinary people of this country. They will continue and increase the tax take .
It’s just become politics based on envy. Stop people that have worked hard driving expensive cars, stop them sending their children to a better school etc etc.
If you can drive expensive cars and send kids to private schools. These tax changes really aren’t going to hurt you… The U.K. public infrastructure needs investment, look at tax across the world its going up, people want better public services guess what we all have to pay for it.
@@craighuddy5351 Many middle income families will be forced to take their kids out of private education which only adds more pressures on state schools. Chucking more money at something doesn't necessarily equal improvements. The NHS is haemorrhaging money. Filling up the leaky bucket won't fix it. It needs root and branch reform.
@ not many middle income families are sending kids to private school people on 60k ish aren’t spending an average of 16000 on private schools a year… Well under investment and the private sector didn’t seem to work to well, so why not try a bit more investment.
@@craighuddy5351 many private schools will close, certainly the one I work in - the second biggest employer in my area. Somehow the local schools will have to accommodate another 300 pupils, 200 people will lose their jobs - 90% of which lived locally and spent their money in the community. On top of those jobs will be the fall in income for many local businesses- groundsmen, plumbers , builders etc. This will happen up and down the country and all those employees and businesses pay tax.
"but they never seem to factor in that not as many people will buy one of those Vehicles" Do you really think that it is only for VED that they don't account for the behavioural impact of a change to a tax?
I have a 2016 BMW 330e hybrid that currently costs me zero VED. The changes seem to apply to cars that were built from 2017. I was thinking of leasing an EV and selling my BMW but I can't seem to find the info about when I might pay VED on my BMW and how much ... anyone know ? Also, If the VED is going up, is it a good idea to lock in a 3 or 4 year Lease now ?
First year roadtax is a bit meaningless its basically part of the list price really if you had a price in mind you would either have to include the first year ved or ask the dealer for a discount. Its still part of payment to receive the car.
So I have 3.5 tonight motorhome which I pay £325 VED. A 4 tone one is £185. I drive about 2500 miles a year in that, so why don't Motorhomes have a special rate, surely that should be about £100 a year? There are no EV ones, they would do about 50 miles on a charge and weigh so much there would be no payload for even a C1 licence holder
Jim, appreciate what you're saying about a company car being a 'tool' for some professions, but a company car will only attract income tax when they're also made available for personal use.
All they need to do is make it lower for those doing X amount or % of business mileage as it used to be, therefore only punishing those who have on purely as a perk - but of course that didn't generate enough tax.
You may not know. But labour has shares in arms companies and fossil fuel companies. People moan they soon will tax you for the air you breath. They could bring in a tax to do that. You give out methane and carbon monoxide
Remember reading that a trabant in the old eastern europe was £000's on the black market because that's all there was. I've no crystal ball but park that 10 year old Aygo in a garage it might be your pension.
What happens if you live in a Mid terrest property with no off road parking or access at the rear. Where do you put the EV charger? This really hasn't been thought through. While it is a good thing in principle, I feel that the Goverments as well as the previouse Govrerment have gone into this without any thought for the countries infrastructure or the cost it would incure transport companies to change their Vans Cars , Lorries ETC from Petrol or Diesel over to Electric. As usual they are trying to look good in the eyes of the rest of the world. And just like the switch to Digital TV, we don't get a say in the matter.
Get the drivers off the road but don't improve public transport....i think people will be giving up work and claiming benefits instead... also this will put cost up of everything, people won't be able to spendbecause they will have no money left
Rumours deliberately started? Of course they were - but not necessarily by HMG. There’s a whole bunch of people who just like to cause undermining concern.
They have inherited a bag of shyte from the Torys to be fair. Schools falling down, hospitals falling down, the Liz Truss economy damage....the list goes on and on. Decades of underinvestment and kicking the problems down the road.
i bought a new Mercedes E class diesel/mild hybrid in 2022 and i have to pay £530 a year tax for the first 5 years then its around £170 becuase its valued over £40k, were as in the last 12 months i've had 3 new vans 2 of which was over £40k both VW and they kick ya arse with £335 tax,
We are heading back to the Middle Ages. The UN's sustainable goals clearly state that car usage will be limited in the future. Those who can afford car travel and emergency services will be the only people on the roads. Car ownership 40 yrs time will be a thing of the past. You'll be using public transport and live a sustainable life with limited resources, just like the surfs in the Middle Ages with a technocratic and authoritarian overlay. Future generations will know no different, and the car will be a thing of the past, sort of. Good Luck!

My son in law was thinking of a company car salary sacrifice and this may change his mind. I empathise re the cold as hopefully towards the end of mine post flu jab!
Tax is always an emotive issue. It was clear that the previous government underfunded just about everything. Some catch-up was needed. My biggest gripe is the ease with which the ultra wealthy seem to have numerous legal ways of avoiding tax on income and wealth, whilst the rest of us, especially PAYE have to accept it.
Over the course of recent history in most parts of the world you will see that whenever significant economies have grown it has been largely due to stimulous rather than an increase in taxation. If people have more money in their pocket they will generally spend it, creating jobs, genrating more tax revenue than simply taking it from them at source.
I think you miss the fact that we should be supporting the economy and not stifle it. Basically the budget has no new ideas and it is the continuation of the status quo
The wealthy don't take an income so they hardly pay any tax.
totally agree with you.
@@_Anime_Shortz except that this government is having to correct 14 years of tory cock-ups and miss management.
If wanting to stick with ICE, and wanting to buy not lease, then all the more reason to not buy brand new, and to buy cars that are already 1 year old.
👌
Cheers Jim firstly congratulations on 54k subscribers as for the budget same as usual screw the cash cow motorists as for the fuel cost ideas all that would happen is that petrol retailers would just threaten to put the tax free price of fuel then the idea would be quietly dropped should ask the supermarkets why branches within 6 mile can vary between £1.29 and £1.43 per litre !!!
It’s very wrong Dave 👍
Problem with getting drivers to go down the EV route is they, the government, will be missing out on the exorbitant petrol/diesel vehicle tax so will have to then hit the EV drivers. I believe it was the last government that mentioned that a few years back.
They'll put a tax on charging, to replace the tax on fuel
Is EV drivers will get royally shafted soon enough
Biggest shock....how Jim produces a budget update with no spreadsheet.... 🤯
😂😂😂👍

Bloody hell
STARMER WILL TAX YOU ALL TO POVERTY
I kind of get what the government is trying to do with regards to the EV Infrastructure....but there are issues here, big ones....EV sales are plummeting, The Power Grid nationally is simply not up to the requirements that would be expected of it .....assuming we all suddenly purchased EV's, and has anyone considered what's going to happen to the Millions of Dud Car Batteries which apparently cannot be recycled!
Well! you're pretty much wrong on just about everything you've written there.
May I suggest that you do some research, that doesn't include some bloke from down the pub. Or some ones brothers mate said.
@@Hell-Hound1 Well said, I was going to say the same but you beat me ro it. How he could so much wrong in a couple of lines is amazing.
Disregarding the battery issue the points he makes are correct@@jimf4748
EV sales are up, not plummeting
The global unemployment from all this nonsense will be unsustainable
I'll stick with my 2015 toyota argo as my road tax is £O
EV’s a very good idea but they're expensive, and the charging infrastructure in the rural parts of the land is pretty much non-existent. Notwithstanding the fact that public charge points are a rip off, that's if you can find one and if it's actually working. or there isn't a massive queue to get on it.
It depends where you live. I live in a rural part of Scotland but every little village has at least one charger and my small town (pop 9000) has 16 chargers. In over 5 years owning EV's I've never had to queue. Where have you had issues charging?
I thought the working people would not see any change to their payslip or tax, company car drivers certainly will, maybe they fall outside of the working person defenition.
The premium tax applying to EVs is perverse, very few are below £40k, so this will discourage uptake. Some will think this a good thing.
It’s daft
What about those who drive historic vehicles? At the moment it's free road tax and MOT. (UK).
No change from what I understand
Also starting to see why so many just don't have cars that are legal tax insurance etc
Somebody voted them in but no one will own up. 😂
😂 I didn’t
I did,sorry
The percentage of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is only 0.4%, so CO2 emissions have very little effect

It's a massive con.
They are trying to price bigger vehicles off the road.
And humans it seems
Who can afford a new car. Nowadays people don't need to drive for work. We have video calling, saving a company time and money. Meaning people can spend time with family and not in a car polluting the plant. We need to get cheaper trains. Far less stressful than driving, a lot more healthier for the planet and yourself. We only have one planet. Look after it and get out of that car and exercise. You don't want to have a stroke before 50.
Not the brightest button are you
Thankfully I am saying electric for my next car so it shouldn't be to bad. We have to wait and see if there is any more costs. Great video jim
👍
I wonder where that extra charge will end up, most likely straight into "green" so call projects.
It's to fill the £40bn black hole they keep talking about whilst paying for 5000 empty hotel rooms every night.
They are trying to make it too expensive for petrol and diesel car owners so you buy milk floats.
I wouldn't mind paying higher tax if things worked but nothing does nowadays.
You can't drive anywhere without delays due to roadworks that nobody seems to be working on. Roads are in bad condition, healthcare is a shambles...
I could not agree more
This should halt car sales a tad! And this us labours idea of growth?
Pushing everybody into EV..... yuk
Do you drive for pleasure? or, do you drive out of necessity? If it's the latter then you'll drive what you can afford. Regardless of its fuel.
EVs are nice to drive, you should try one
It never ceases to amaze me that every time there’s an election millions of people vote Labour, then they spend the next 3 or 4 years moaning about them - STOP VOTING LABOUR !!!!!!
Taxes and living costs increased too much in this country, so sooner than later, old people/pensioners could not even afford to die.
The people buying luxury cars won't blink, but the rest of us suffer, more proof that Labour hate the working man and love the rich, as after all most of them are millionaires.
Surprised they didn't put tax on mobility scooters 😅
Don’t give them ideas 😉👍
We are all screwed lol! EVs getting road tax as of 2025. Best option leave the the UK if you can. It’s a sinking ship
Leaving the UK because of tax on EV’s! Wow, that’s all I can say…
@ and everything else! Did you not see the budget yesterday? Also the quality of life which has been declining for years?
Not a bad idea
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru life’s too short! And there are many better countries out there. Unfortunately the uk has peaked and it’s just not worth being here anymore
@@kab7044 its a collection of things
I was looking for an excuse to give up motoring, thank you liebour.
The biggest one was No Pence per Mile.... Thank God!
I still feel like I’m getting heavily shafted.
Basically this bunch of self seeking tricksters we call a government , doesn't give a toss about the ordinary people of this country. They will continue and increase the tax take .
It’s just become politics based on envy. Stop people that have worked hard driving expensive cars, stop them sending their children to a better school etc etc.
👍
If you can drive expensive cars and send kids to private schools. These tax changes really aren’t going to hurt you… The U.K. public infrastructure needs investment, look at tax across the world its going up, people want better public services guess what we all have to pay for it.
@@craighuddy5351 Many middle income families will be forced to take their kids out of private education which only adds more pressures on state schools. Chucking more money at something doesn't necessarily equal improvements. The NHS is haemorrhaging money. Filling up the leaky bucket won't fix it. It needs root and branch reform.
@ not many middle income families are sending kids to private school people on 60k ish aren’t spending an average of 16000 on private schools a year… Well under investment and the private sector didn’t seem to work to well, so why not try a bit more investment.
@@craighuddy5351 many private schools will close, certainly the one I work in - the second biggest employer in my area. Somehow the local schools will have to accommodate another 300 pupils, 200 people will lose their jobs - 90% of which lived locally and spent their money in the community. On top of those jobs will be the fall in income for many local businesses- groundsmen, plumbers , builders etc. This will happen up and down the country and all those employees and businesses pay tax.
"but they never seem to factor in that not as many people will buy one of those Vehicles"
Do you really think that it is only for VED that they don't account for the behavioural impact of a change to a tax?
I have a 2016 BMW 330e hybrid that currently costs me zero VED. The changes seem to apply to cars that were built from 2017. I was thinking of leasing an EV and selling my BMW but I can't seem to find the info about when I might pay VED on my BMW and how much ... anyone know ? Also, If the VED is going up, is it a good idea to lock in a 3 or 4 year Lease now ?
Where's that pay per mile kept being spouted every 5 mins.
Not here yet, just the current pseudo pay per mile via fuel tax
@ yet? Oh so you know it’s coming lmfao
First year roadtax is a bit meaningless its basically part of the list price really if you had a price in mind you would either have to include the first year ved or ask the dealer for a discount. Its still part of payment to receive the car.
How they can justify these rises when you look at the state of the roads in UK
They don’t need to, they can just take it legally. Dreadful.
So I have 3.5 tonight motorhome which I pay £325 VED. A 4 tone one is £185.
I drive about 2500 miles a year in that, so why don't Motorhomes have a special rate, surely that should be about £100 a year? There are no EV ones, they would do about 50 miles on a charge and weigh so much there would be no payload for even a C1 licence holder
So you’ll have to pay through the nose to have a motorhome in future.
Jim, appreciate what you're saying about a company car being a 'tool' for some professions, but a company car will only attract income tax when they're also made available for personal use.
All they need to do is make it lower for those doing X amount or % of business mileage as it used to be, therefore only punishing those who have on purely as a perk - but of course that didn't generate enough tax.
You may not know. But labour has shares in arms companies and fossil fuel companies. People moan they soon will tax you for the air you breath. They could bring in a tax to do that. You give out methane and carbon monoxide
Politicians are almost all crooked, I don’t vote anymore for any of the self serving clowns.
Remember reading that a trabant in the old eastern europe was £000's on the black market because that's all there was. I've no crystal ball but park that 10 year old Aygo in a garage it might be your pension.
What happens if you live in a Mid terrest property with no off road parking or access at the rear. Where do you put the EV charger? This really hasn't been thought through.
While it is a good thing in principle, I feel that the Goverments as well as the previouse Govrerment have gone into this without any thought for the countries infrastructure
or the cost it would incure transport companies to change their Vans Cars , Lorries ETC from Petrol or Diesel over to Electric. As usual they are trying to look good in the
eyes of the rest of the world. And just like the switch to Digital TV, we don't get a say in the matter.
What great news for car manufacturers and those people they employ. 🤬
Exactly
Jim, thanks for this , if a new EV is bought what is the tax if it costs 50k. I hope your cold is better soon …Chris
Thanks Chris. I don;t know at the moment but obviously it'll be some level of VED plus luxury car tax
If someone can afafford £50k the can probably afford the VED
Get the drivers off the road but don't improve public transport....i think people will be giving up work and claiming benefits instead... also this will put cost up of everything, people won't be able to spendbecause they will have no money left
Well that’s gonna finish off the new car sales. The car manufacturers are already in big trouble from Net Zero LABOUR ABSOLUTELY SUCK
Rumours deliberately started? Of course they were - but not necessarily by HMG. There’s a whole bunch of people who just like to cause undermining concern.
Government: We can spend carelessly and the final bill will be paid by taxpayers. Happy days.🎉
They have inherited a bag of shyte from the Torys to be fair. Schools falling down, hospitals falling down, the Liz Truss economy damage....the list goes on and on. Decades of underinvestment and kicking the problems down the road.

@@DefinitelyNotAGuru Thank You. Best, Jamie.
i bought a new Mercedes E class diesel/mild hybrid in 2022 and i have to pay £530 a year tax for the first 5 years then its around £170 becuase its valued over £40k, were as in the last 12 months i've had 3 new vans 2 of which was over £40k both VW and they kick ya arse with £335 tax,
Well this should lift the EV market. Labour say they have got further plans to come to lift the economy as yet unpublished. I guess its wait and see.
On the bright side .. 1p off a pint of beer
Unbelievable generosity. 🤣
Exciting times.
Might of been welcomed in the year 1894..
Already expensive to have a beer out ! ………..1p won’t help
Time electric vehicles paid the same as petrol and diesel.
You have a choice
We are heading back to the Middle Ages. The UN's sustainable goals clearly state that car usage will be limited in the future. Those who can afford car travel and emergency services will be the only people on the roads. Car ownership 40 yrs time will be a thing of the past. You'll be using public transport and live a sustainable life with limited resources, just like the surfs in the Middle Ages with a technocratic and authoritarian overlay. Future generations will know no different, and the car will be a thing of the past, sort of. Good Luck!
👌
Hardly surprising. The old Labour governments were tax and spend. This government is tax and build up fiscal surplus -- not what governments are for.
I don’t mind a pound a mile charge. The government knows what’s best for us.
Please tell me you're being facetious?
