Signed and shared, p!55 take that we are being used to prop up the gap created by 'scrappage schemes' and 'clean diesel' 'zero tax vehicle' nonsense

Turns out it’s not happening now then, I got an email

[Satan]

What is not happening?

[Cloggy Saint]

I got the email too. Apparently 40 years is 'classic' and 30 years is just 'old'

Full statement from the website:


“The Government considers that classic vehicles are an important part of the country’s historical and cultural heritage. According to research by the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs, in their publication The 2020 National Historic Vehicle Survey, the historic car industry employed around 34,000 people in the UK.

Recognising the important role played by historic vehicles, the Government announced at Budget 2013 that it would be extending the cut-off date from which classic vehicles are exempt from paying Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) to 1 January 2014. At Budget 2014, the Government then announced that it would introduce a rolling 40-year VED exemption, which means that currently vehicles constructed before 1 January 1981 are exempt from paying VED.

The Government set 40 years as being a fair cut-off date that distinguishes classic cars from old cars. There are no current plans to reduce the tax exemption age for classic cars from 40 years to 30 years, but as with all taxes, VED is kept under review.
