Could it also be that the government is forcing Motability to push EV’s to increase the government transition figure as Motability leases account for 1 in every 5 new car registrations in the UK.
The government could if they wished to, bring the vat exemption in line with that given to privately bought vehicles for disabled people. Its very restrictive.
1. Vehicle must be significantly adapted for the recipients disability. Minor adaptions do not qualify for Vat exemption.
2. The exemption can only be requested once every 3 years.
The government would gain perhaps on average £6k plus for every non significantly adapted vehicle. Say 160,000 per year ( from the overall 220,000 leases each year)forc every non significantly adapted vehicles would give Mrs Reeves some £1 billion in extra vat receipts every year.
