Motor Vehicles: Disability
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she plans to remove the VAT exemption for vehicles adapted for use by disabled people.
Answered by Dan Tomlinson
The government has no plans to remove the VAT relief for vehicles designed for, or substantially and permanently adapted for, wheelchair or stretcher users.
At Budget 2025 the government announced tax changes to the Motability scheme. These changes will only impact new leases, and VAT reliefs within the scheme for weekly lease costs and vehicle resale will remain in place.
