Are these tax rates right?

Are these tax rates right?

Why are the newer commercial vans charged at the old tax rates if taxed as private? Are they not based on emissions?

Hi Syl,

It's a really strange one, isn't it? But yes, to confirm, even if a van is brand new, if it's registered for private use, it is taxed according to the old by-engine-size rates instead of its emissions.
