Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether her Department plans to make electric vehicle owners eligible to pay car tax.

Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), also sometimes referred to as car tax, is a tax on car ownership from which electric vehicles are currently exempt. As announced by the previous Government at Autumn Statement 2022, from April 2025, electric and hybrid cars, vans and motorcycles will begin to pay VED in the same way as petrol and diesel vehicles.

Revenue from motoring taxes helps ensure we can continue to fund the vital public services and infrastructure that people across the UK expect.
