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

Euro IV Standard was brought in from 2006 and Euro V Standards will be introduced in 2011.

Remember, when considering a new car from LEXUS that fuel consumption, performance and emission figures have an effect on your wallet!
The LEXUS GS450h has an emission figure of 186 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.
