This made me smile 😂 I love the rationale but it’s obviously completely unworkable. Not every use of every Motability car is for the direct benefit of the disabled person, whereas a VAT free disability aid is. I appreciate that the cars are VAT free, but that’s a block exemption that the government grant Motability.
I think we’ve had a clear message from this new government that they’re looking to increase the tax take, not lower it. With petrol and diesel prices back to low levels, there’s some speculation that they might reinstate the fuel price escalator which would result in a price hike of around 5p per litre. The last government never enacted it.
