From the budget

"There was more good news for enthusiast motorists, too, with the announcement that the Government’s cut-off date for classic cars’ VED exemption will now be extended by one year, meaning cars produced in 1973, will now be tax exempt. There’s no word yet on whether this extension will continue to roll forward in future years, though"

Great news for many i wonder does that mean that they will move back to a rolling system if so that will make it 40 Years 10 years older than the rest of Europe I know Ireland and i think most of Europe have a 30 year rolling Classic recognition i guess Goodwood will have to follow suit and move to 74 better buy a maistro to carry the picnic down in wink

agreed mine is a 78 built 77 but if the 40 year rolling happens its onlt 4 years away which equates to nearly £900 in VEDfrown
Guess we should look on the bright side at least its a move forwardsmile

Great news, hopefully it moves again next year as my 3000M is a 74 model.

Good news for mine, too. My 3000M, first registered March '73 is just about to undergo a rebuild. Happy days!

Fingers crossed it keeps moving for us '77 owners!

Noticed that SORN looks like it will be indefinite too, rather than yearly renewal.


2.148 VED: classic vehicle exemption – The Government will extend the cut off date from which classic vehicles are exempt from VED by one year. From 1 April 2014 a vehicle manufactured before 1 January 1974 will be exempt from paying VED. (Finance Bill 2014)

2.151 VED: tax disc display waiver – To reduce tax administration costs, the Government will put off-the-road declarations onto an indefinite basis. The Government will also extend the grace period to 14 days, following the payment of tax, on the non-display of the tax disc in a vehicle. (Finance Bill 2013)
