New Road Tax Rates 2017

If you receive the enhanced rate for mobility for PIP or the higher rate for mobility for DLA then you are eligible to apply for exemption of Road Tax.

If however you receive the standard rate mobility component of PIP then you are eligible to apply for a 50% reduction.

To claim the 50% reduction the vehicle must be : • Registered in the disabled person’s name or their nominated driver’s name. • It must only be used for the disabled person’s personal needs. That means
the vehicle can’t be used by the nominated driver for their own personal use. • You can only have one vehicle tax exemption or reduction at any one time • You can apply for the 50% reduction if you get the Standard Rate mobility component of Personal Independence Payment (PIP)

If you are entitled to the 50% discount, then you can ONLY obtain this by sending the appropriate paperwork to DVLA, Swansea, SA99 1DZ.
