Vehicle excise duty, also referred to as VED, is charged on every mechanically-propelled vehicle used or kept on a public road and must be paid on a licence to be taken out by the person keeping the vehicle.
The Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994 provides that the person who uses or keeps an unlicensed vehicle on a road is liable on conviction, to an excise penalty of: (a) a maximum of £1,900 or (b) up to five times the amount of duty chargeable on the vehicle, whichever penalty is the greater.
A haulage vehicle is a vehicle which is constructed and used on public roads solely for haulage and not for the purpose of carrying or having superimposed on it any load except that which is necessary for its propulsion or equipment.

 Vehicle excise duty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the United Kingdom, Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) (often known as road tax, and previously as road fund license) is an annual tax on the use of motor vehicles on the public roads.
Vehicle owners paying the tax are issued with a non-transferrable vehicle licence ("tax disc") to be displayed on the vehicle.
This is due to the age of the vehicle and a presumption of limited mileage.

'''Vehicle Excise Duty''' (VED) in the United Kingdom, often known as road tax, is an annual tax on the ownership of road vehicles, collected and enforced by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DLVA).
For Cars registered on or after March 1 2001 the tax is known as graduated Vehicle excise duty (GVED) and is based on the level of carbon dioxide (CO2) emission.

 ETA : Vehicle Excise Duty - ETA's recommendation
At present this duty is levied at a flat rate for private vehicles and various higher rates for commercial vehicles.
The ETA recommends that this duty be abolised as soon as possible and replaced with a carbon tax and a road user charge.
As the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Centre cannot yet cope with such a profile system, in the short term VED would be calculated on axle weight (for impact on road) and engine power (for impact on the environment).

Evasion among vehicles in the PLG class that are more than 10 years old is five times the evasion level of vehicles less than 10 years old.

 Dáil Éireann - Volume 455 - 04 July, 1995 - Written Answers. - Vehicle Excise Duty.
Howlin): Under section 20 of the Finance (No. 2) Act, 1992, liability for licensing and paying vehicle excise duty — motor tax — in respect of a vehicle, which it is intended to use in a public place, arose from the date of registration of the vehicle in the State.
The person first licensing the vehicle is liable for the motor tax regardless of the ownership situation prior to first licensing.
It would be a matter for that person, when acquiring the vehicle or otherwise, to come to an arrangement with the previous owners regarding the amount due in tax.

 ABD- Variable VED response
The debate about VED versus fuel tax (not fully dealt with in the consultation) has long existed between low mileage drivers who feel that fixed VED is unfair and those who live in remote communities who are forced to travel further for their essential journeys than those who live in cities.
To vary the VED with the fuel consumption or emissions of the vehicle would upset the fairness of this balance, with the high mileage user of a smaller car benefiting and the low mileage user who requires a large vehicle for towing or carrying passengers and luggage being unreasonably penalised.
The increase in VED for larger engined vehicles is unlikely of itself to deter the buyer of a new luxury vehicle — certainly not up to the £250-£300 level that is typically charged in major continental markets with indigenous motor manufacturers.

In 2001, VED was for the first time related to the carbon dioxide (CO) emissions of an individual vehicle.
Until the late 1990s, car owners in the UK had been required to pay a flat-rate charge for using their vehicle, unrelated to the type of car they chose to purchase and use.
Vehicles registered on or after 1 March 2001 are categorised into one of four VED bands, according to their emissions.
