Vehicle tax and VAT relief

Vehicle tax exemption

You can get a vehicle tax exemption for one vehicle if you're eligible.

The vehicle must be registered in the disabled person's name, or their nominated driver's name. The vehicle must be used for a disabled person's personal needs. A nominated driver can not use it for their own personal use.

Vehicle tax reduction

You can get a 50% reduction in vehicle tax on one vehicle if you're eligible.

The vehicle must be registered in the disabled person's name or their nominated driver's name.

VAT relief for vehicles

You may not have to pay VAT on having a vehicle adapted to suit your condition, or on the lease of a Motability vehicle - this is known as VAT relief.
