Also known as the luxury car tax and the threshold set to rise to £50k from April.

Will Mob set the same price cap for EVs? After all, unless it’s 50k or more it’s “officially” not a luxury car and therefore the haranguers of the scheme (including Rachel) should still be satisfied we’re only getting the lowly stuff! 😉

The luxury car tax makes no difference to Motability as they are exempt from it, just as they are exempt from the regular car tax and first year ‘showroom tax’. Private buyers with higher rate mobility component are exempt from all elements of these taxes as well.

Trying to figure out Rachel from Accounts thinking is impossible, but as she is all for pandering to poorly thought out sound bites, it would appear that having a £55k Hyundai on your drive wouldn’t bother the neighbours, but a £30k BMW would 🤔 Sadly, I don’t think that the pointless removal of the premium brands will be subject to one of the countless government u-turns

Given my Hyundai was £55k, the £50k limit has been breached for several years.

There’s several variants going around the rumour mill, I had one dealer that top of the range cars were banned so you could have an EV5 but not the GT Line S.  I think it’s still going to be brand based so, as @Glos_Guy said, it’s fine to lease a £55k Hyundai but not a £30k BMW.

Mota set their own price cap on the max value of vehicles allowed on the scheme, which is tax as explained above.

P.S Anyone know what the price cap is these days?
