Vehicle Excise Duty consultation deadline extended

A consultation on Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), which seeks views on moving towards a more dynamic VED system and how VED can support a reduction in road transport emissions, has had its deadline extended due to the coronavirus pandemic.

This call for evidence was originally published on 11 March 2020 and was due to close on 3 June 2020 but has a new closing date of 3 September 2020.

The consultation seeks views on how the Government can use VED to further encourage the uptake of zero and ultra-low emission cars, and reduce overall emissions from road transport, to both help meet our legally binding climate change targets and improve air quality. It also seeks views on the VED treatment of motorcycles.
