    Car tax changes \u2013 higher vehicle excise duty <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    All brand-new vehicles are subject to paying a higher rate of tax (known as vehicle excise duty or \u2018VED\u2019) <\/em>for the first taxable year of owning the car. The rate depends on your vehicle’s CO2 emissions. Vehicle excise duty rates are increasing for all types of vehicles<\/a> from April 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Read more about Vehicle Excise Duty<\/a> and how it impacts business drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    During the 2025 Autumn Budget<\/a>, an additional charge was added to the Vehicle Excise Duty system. From April 2028, electric car drivers will pay a road charge of 3p a mile (with plug-in hybrid drivers paying 1.5p a mile). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Mileage will be checked annually, typically during an MOT. These rates will increase with inflation each year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Paying tax on electric vehicles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    If you use an electric van as a commercial vehicle, it\u2019s important to note that all owners of all electric vehicles (EVs) will need to pay the standard rate of road tax afyer 1 April 2025. Until now, EVs were exempt from road tax. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Plus if you buy an EV after April 2025, you\u2019ll also have to pay a first-year rate of \u00a310 and an Expensive Car supplement of \u00a3410 if the list price is more than \u00a340,000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Fuel duty remains frozen <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The fuel duty rate (currently 52.95 pence per litre) is staying frozen until March 2026. While there\u2019s still plenty of time until then, businesses with a fleet of commercial vehicles will want to watch out for news of the freeze potentially ending. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    New classification for double-cab trucks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Double cab pick-up trucks with a payload of at least one metric tonne won\u2019t be classified as vans for benefit-in-kind (BIK) or capital allowance purposes from 6 April 2025. Instead, they\u2019ll be classified as cars \u2013 meaning you could see your BIK payments go up dramatically. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    These vehicles will now be taxed alongside some of the most polluting petrol and diesel cars, which generally attract a rate of more than 35 per cent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, there\u2019s a way to hold off this increase. If you purchase a new double cab pick-up truck before the beginning of April, they\u2019ll keep their commercial vehicle classification until the earliest date between disposal, lease expiry, or April 6 2029.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Vehicle advisory fuel rates <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Advisory fuel rates<\/a> were increased from 1 March 2025, meaning you\u2019re likely to see costs increase if your business uses company cars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The cost per mile has increased for petrol cars with an engine size of up to 1,400cc (from 14p to 15p) and diesel cars with an engine size of up to 1,600cc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Congestion Charges for EVs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    It\u2019s also worth being aware of changes to the Congestion Charge. From December 2025, even EVs and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles will need to pay the Congestion Charge of \u00a315. If you use an electric van for London-based work, you should factor this into your budgeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
