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

The PROTON 1.6 has an emission figure of 172 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.
