UK Budget 2007: Car tax will increase by £5 each year for the next three years for most cars. The ‘cleanest cars’ (not exceeding 120g/km of CO2) will get a reduction to £35 but, for the ‘dirtiest’ cars (over 225g/km of CO2) tax will increase to £400.
Car tax rates for diesel and petrol cars are to be aligned at the same level.
Euro Standard IV

Each later Euro Standard has set tighter emissions limits. Euro II Standards were introduced from 1996 and Euro III Standard from 2000. Euro IV Standard was brought in from 2006 and Euro V Standards will be introduced in 2011.

The ALFA ROMEO 2.4 20v JTDM Automatic has an emission figure of 210 g/km, which will be reflected in the cost of the Road Fund Licence (Tax Disk) year after year, and vehicles with higher emissions seem set to attract higher and higher tax.
