Government should review whether Vehicle Excise Duty remains fair and appropriate, given that local and regional authorities are changing the road space and access available for private vehicles through low-traffic neighbourhoods, bus gates/lanes, and expanded cycle lanes.

Reduce Vehicle Excise Duty by 50% for vehicles aged 20 to 39 years
Introduce a 50% VED reduction for cars aged 20–39. High taxes force functional vehicles to be scrapped, creating a "disposable" culture. Keeping existing cars is greener than building new ones, as it preserves embedded carbon. This "Young-Timer" bracket supports the circular economy and UK heritage.
Clarification on vehicle tax policy
Educational post clarifying that road tax does not exist and explaining vehicle excise duty (VED) funding for roads. Post addresses misconceptions about motorist contributions to road maintenance.
Scrap either EV pay-per-mile tax or Vehicle Excise Duty for EVs. Don't have both
From 2028 electric car owners will pay BOTH VED car tax and 3p per mile. We think this will punish working people and families resulting in around £300 extra for 10000 miles on top of £195 VED tax for many EVs. It's not like the electricity to charge the car hasn't already been taxed.
Introduce a Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) and MOT requirement for touring caravans
Touring caravans are currently exempt from MOT testing and pay no Vehicle Excise Duty, despite: Reports of being involved in thousands of road incidents each year Causing an increase in vehicle CO₂ emissions Making use of UK road infrastructure without contributing equivalent revenue.
Older roadworthy vehicles facing unnecessary taxation
A petition has been launched opposing policies that would tax older but mechanically sound vehicles out of use.
