I doubt it - they'll try and sting as many people as possible! I did alright though - just put an offer in on a flat thats £123k & stamp duty's been raised to £125k saving me £1230 - cheers! I expect everyones tax with a VR will go up around £20 or something unless these new bands mean something because they dont to me! I only use mine at the weekends really, takes the p*ss that I should pay the same as someone who does 5 times the miles as me but thats the british government for you - we either live with it or we move out of the country.
