Important changes in Vehicle Excise Duty from 1 April 2017

Tax and Legislation News

The Government is introducing some important changes in Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) starting from 1 April 2017. Vehicle Excise Duty is also known as Road Fund Licence or Road tax.

So what does it all mean?
Vehicles that are registered from 1 April 2017 will be taxed a flat standardised VED of £140 on all vehicles, including cars, armoured cars and motorhomes (except zero emission cars for which the SR will be £0).

Vehicles that are excluded from the new VED are: commercial vehicles (LCVs), motorbikes and heavy goods vehicles.

The first year rates of VED will vary according to the vehicles CO2 emissions level however; a flat SR of £140 tax will apply in all subsequent years unless you drive a zero emission vehicle.

In addition to standardised VED, any cars reaching their second license period – this includes cars with a list price of over £40,000 per year will incur an additional charge of £310 per annum over the next five years.

What happens to cars that are already registered before 1 April 2017?
Current legislation won’t change for cars that are registered before 1 April, so if you are planning to buy or lease a car after this date with a listed price of over £40,000 or more you could save significant money by doing this prior to the date.

Five reasons to get a new van

Car Leasing, Motoring Advice

Our Commercial Specialist Neil Barlow gives us five good reasons why you should invest in a new van and how this can benefit your business:

  1. Avoid expensive maintenance costs
    If you are currently driving an older vehicle chances are you’re likely going to experience expensive maintenance. When you lease a brand-new van you will have low maintenance costs and even have options to include maintenance within your lease agreement.
  2. Reduce your running costs
    Over recent years manufacturers have improved fuel efficiency radically. Save money at the pump by changing your van today.
  3. Removing depreciating assets from your books
    If you own your current vehicle you will remove a depreciating asset from your balance sheet.
  4. Leasing is easy and cost effective
    Leasing often works out cheaper than buying an old van on hire purchase.
  5. Business image
    Your van is your business image. By driving a new van you will come across as a professional tradesman and thus improve the reputation of your business.
