Finally!! Confirmation that tax exemption is continuing to roll "2.165 Vehicle Excise Duty classic vehicle exemption – As announced at Budget 2014, from 1 April 2016 a vehicle manufactured before 1 January 1976 will be exempt from paying VED. (Finance Bill 2015)"
In case anyone wondered, the Finance Bill 2015 extended it to vehicles constructed before 1 January 1975 from 1 April 2015 and of course last year's budget started the ball rolling at 1 January 1974 as we all know. So while it's not officially 'rolling' George is manually prodding the ball every year.
Agreed . Which is why - despite the moral implications and much soul searching - i refuse to vote for any of the current crop of beige nobodies , haven`t a set of balls between `em... Shysters to a man (or woman ...) , out for themselves .
As I hate all political parties equally, I'd say yes it's far more valuable in cash terms than any paltry change they're likely to make to tax system. How much is it per year to tax a van. I forget?
It's really unfair. What's the difference between a 1975 bus and a 1979 bus? Surely if they are the same design they should both be tax exempt. For Christ's sake don't they make enough out of fuel tax from these thirsty machines!
