Spotted this one on the Number 10 petitions website.
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/historiccartax/
This one is petitioning for the extension of the exemption of Vehicle Excise Duty to include Classic Cars built after 1st Jan 1973.
“Currently cars have to have been constructed before a set date - the 1st January 1973 to be eligible for historic car tax exemption. We the undersigned would like the date to be moved as it has been fixed for a number of years. A number of cars which were built in British factories are becoming few and far between and would like the Government to help preserve these cars by offering and extension on the current exemption date.”
It doesn’t just affect British Built Cars, but all of us with post 73 classics.
The Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs is also lobbying the government on this one too.
