Car tax - vehicle excise duty - is changing from 2009, with vehicles classified according to the levels of carbon dioxide they emit - good news for those with environmentally-friendly cars, bad news for owners of more polluting vehicles, who also face a "showroom tax" payable in the first year after purchase. These rates apply to cars registered after March 2001
