Thousands of people will have to pay up to £245 extra a year under new road tax rules, after a covert government decision to include cars up to seven years old.
The Treasury admitted that it was quietly abolishing the exemption for older cars from the highest rates of vehicle excise duty, which means that owners of larger cars bought since March 2001 will find that their road tax will rise steeply from next April.

The increases are being introduced in two stages, with many owners who are now paying £210 a year being charged £300 in 2009 and up to £455 in 2010.
