Perhaps surprisingly, Motability never showed any real backbone in defence towards the scheme or towards any other actions that have affected it or its members recently.
The removal of VAT relief from Advance Payments (unless substantially adapted), in particular, is going to be a deal breaker for many of us, as the minimum spec being disabled, I’d imagine, requires heated seats/heated steering wheel, which in almost all cases command an AP.
Insurance Premium Tax at 12% to be added to leases, though not sure how this will happen exactly – as sacrified mobility component won’t include it.
And of course those who are disabled and like a little bit of enoyment in life, will mostly see this enjoyment taken away!
Whether this will open any form of competition, I don’t know, but I’m afraid I’m out!
