Motor Vehicles (Duties and Licences) Bill 2015

Public bill · Government · Presented

Reduces motor tax for heavier goods vehicles, with the new rates applying to licences beginning on or after 1 January 2016. It also overturns the effect of a court ruling by keeping articulated goods vehicles in the goods-vehicle tax category rather than taxing them as non-agricultural tractors, and clarifies that the tractor unit, trailer and semi-trailer are weighed together when setting the tax rate.
