The tax paid when buying a new petrol or diesel SUV in the UK is only a fraction of the levies in neighbouring countries, including France and the Netherlands, and lower than many others in Europe, making it a tax haven for the bigger, less environmentally friendly vehicles, the report from Transport & Environment (T&E) found.
The first-year VED for a medium-large SUV, such as the BMW X5, costs 1,565 in the UK compared with a 60,000 (51,400) tax in France, which also has a further surcharge on heavier cars.
