Barney Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Could someone tell me how old a car has to be to be exempt from paying road tax? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sakura Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 I thought I read somewhere that this tax exemption had been ended (from this year) by Gordon Brown, can't remember where though. The DVLA site should have something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attilauk Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 any car built (not registered) before the end of february 73' is tax exempt. we got the birth certificate for our VW camper from wolfsburg to prove it was tax exempt. afaik there are no changes planned for that area of road tax (my family are aircooled vdub nuts so they should know!)

Guest Sakura Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Attilauk - you are right about 1973, the exemption was changed, and not ended. Apparently the government was worried about the number of tax exempt vehicles on the road, so decided to stop any more qualifying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
