Raise VED road tax for cars registered before April 2017 to at least £195 a year
We believe that we all need to pay for road tax in a fair and consistent way. Pre 2017 vehicles only pay £20-£30 if their emissions are low. In our view, the minimum road tax should be £195 for all vehicles.
Review fairness of Vehicle Excise Duty
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.
Reverse VAT changes on Advance Payments for Motability Vehicles
We want the Government to reverse the changes it made to VAT on advance payments for Motability vehicles, as proposed in the latest Budget. These changes could result in people taking cars that are not suitable due to price increases.
Create a separate MOT test classification for modified vehicles
I would like there to be a separate specific MOT test classification that can be done to verify a vehicle is roadworthy with aftermarket modifications.
