(asked on 9th February 2023) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have any plans to equalise the VAT rate for public charging (20 per cent) and home charging (5 per cent) for electric vehicles.
This question was answered on 22nd February 2023
There are no current plans to change the VAT treatment of electric vehicle charging. However, the Government is committed to supporting the transition to zero emission vehicles to help the UK meet its net-zero obligations. The Government has committed £2.5 billion since 2020 to support the transition to zero emission vehicles, which funds targeted vehicle grants and the rollout of charging infrastructure.
