Will my 2008 Focus tax change in Jan 2021?

Hi,

I bought a new Ford Focus 1.4 petrol in February 2008. Will my motor tax increase in the new motor tax scheme?

Hi Maeve,

Assuming your car is taxed according to its engine size, then there will be no changes to its taxation from January 2021. If it's taxed according to its CO₂ emissions, it's possible that there will be a small increase, but nothing drastic. We don't have the full details of the new motor tax scheme as yet.
