No (and without being awkward) The law changes to enable the VAT are quite clear, all cars leased from 1st July are subject to VAT, regardless of when they were ordered. So while all cars ordered after July 1st will attract VAT (save the usual exemption) some ordered this quarter will also attract VAT. That all depends on when dealers can deliver, so many APs are probably higher than they should be now to absorb some of that potential VAT. It’s probably on higher AP cars, and those that are most likely not to be delivered until after July 1st; another reason for the Enyaq increase. I also suspect to keep things simple next quarter there will still only be one AP per VIN; those that don’t have to pay due to significant adaptions and a fulltime wheelchair user will have their AP reduced after their application hits pending
Explain how some cars ordered this quarter before the 1st of July will attract vat to the Advance Payment. As far as I am aware any car ordered before the 1st of July no matter when delivery takes place will not have vat added to the AP
I agree

What does this mean for you
If you order before 1 July 2026
There will be no change to the terms of the agreement we sent when you ordered your car. You can find details of your terms and conditions in your online account or in the letter we sent to you shortly after you ordered your car.
If you collect your car after 1 July, you might need to pay VAT on some payments, such as excess mileage or early termination fees.
Your Advance Payment will not change, no matter when you collect your car. Our price freeze means the price at the time you apply is locked.
If you order on or after 1 July 2026
Your lease agreement will include details of the payments and whether standard rate VAT is being applied.
If you’re ordering a vehicle that meets the HMRC criteria for VAT concession your dealer will ask you to complete a Customer Eligibility Declaration to confirm you normally use a wheelchair or stretcher.
