BVRLA members have two opportunities to explore upcoming vehicle taxation changes, with a post-Budget webinar and a workshop on electric Vehicle Excise Duty (eVED) taking place over the coming weeks.
With the Autumn Budget scheduled for Wednesday 28 October, the association continues to call for measures that support fleet investment, strengthen the used electric vehicle (EV) market and provide greater certainty around vehicle taxation. Its priorities include rethinking eVED, providing longer-term certainty on company car Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) tax rates, and extending the capital allowances regime.
