In England, Wales, and Scotland, new car registrations are released twice a year, in March and September. These two months are known as the "plate change" months.

The exact date the new registration plates are released may vary from year to year, but they are usually on the first of the month.
 

The amount of road tax you pay is determined by a vehicle's CO2 emissions and fuel type. As a result, newer cars that are more fuel-efficient and produce fewer emissions generally pay less road tax than older cars. This means that, in general, new cars are likely to have lower road tax rates than older cars.

However, it's worth noting that road tax rates can change from year to year, and the specific rates and rules can vary depending on the vehicle's age, emissions level, and fuel type.

If you're purchasing a new car, it's always a good idea to check with your Lloyd Motor Group sales executive and get an accurate estimate of the road tax you'll need to pay.
