Will motor tax rise in the 2018 budget

[RichInSpirit]

Anyone take a guess if motor tax for cars older than 2008 will rise in Budget 2018.
Trying to decide if I'll tax the car for the year tonight before the budget.
Normally only tax it every 3 months.
Thanks in advance.

How long does it take to become effective?

Surely if the Minister announces an increase, you can tax your car immediately for the year.

I presume that the Tax Office hasn't been told to stop online renewal at 1 pm tomorrow.

Any increase in the tax rates are likely to be lower than the cost of paying motor tax every 3 months (over paying annually).

The higher cost of the 3 month option is an assualt on the poor in my view

100% agree in the main it's the people who can I'll afford it are penalised.

As far as I can ascertain motor tax remains unchanged in budget 2018.
