Changes to the taxing of Electric Vehicles

Additionally, electric vehicles (EVs) will no longer exempt from paying Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), or car tax. Although EVs registered after the 1 April date are only liable for a first-year rate of £10 until 2029, those that cost more than £40,000 will also have to pay the £425 a year 'Expensive Car Supplement', otherwise known as the luxury car tax.

EVs registered between 1 April 2017 and 31 March 2025 will now have to pay the same standard rate of road tax (now £195 a year) as all other motorists.

When do you have to pay your car tax?

If you own a vehicle, you will automatically receive a reminder before the tax is due to expire, which is always at the end of a given month.

In other words, if your vehicle is taxed for 12 months from 1 January, you’ll need to renew before the end of December.

You can tax a car for six or 12 months.

You’re also liable for road tax as soon as you take ownership of a car.
