Does this mean that any new Tesla Model 3's registered on or after April 1st 2020 will not have to pay the £320pa Luxury VED or will it also include EV's which have already been registered prior to this date?

1.68 Reducing vehicle pollution
In addition, the Budget announces the exemption of zero emission cars from the Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) ‘expensive car supplement’ and the publication of a call for evidence on VED, which will include how it can be further used to reduce vehicle emissions. (35, 44)

Budget 2020

Yes, correct.

Spoiler: Bad/old info

New cars only.

They've updated it to include all BEV's from 1st April 2017.

 

[JWilde]

Good news. Makes the Tesla with the BIK even better.

 

[Riz_Neo]

Yes, correct. New cars only.

I suppose for me it makes little difference I managed to get my Model 3 Performance just before the £2000 price hike, so even after paying the £1600 Luxury VED I am still no worse off
It's great new indeed.

It's for all cars registered since 2017.

"This measure will exempt all registered zero-emission light passenger vehicles registered from 1 April 2017 until 31 March 2025 from the Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) supplement for light passenger vehicles with a list price exceeding £40,000, starting from April 2020."

I've heard a few people have already paid & are wondering if they can get it back..

So I assume all of the people who posted in the past that they would get a SR+ if only they didn't have to pay the pesky luxury VED bill will now be visiting tesla.com to place their orders ?

 

[Dialogue]

I’m so happy about this announcement. It sends another message to people thinking about getting a petrol/diesel 3 Series, C-Class or A4/A5 to think again about running costs.

So minimal depreciation, possible no luxury tax, zero normal VED and 0% BIK from April plus I just reduced my home charging to 5p/kwh ... just gets better!

 

[UKTechie]

One SR+ currently in existing inventory so now true we don't need to hope for a £39999 car to avoid VED altogether?

 

[Malcolm Hedges]

BIK ... A few more incentives for those of us PAYE would be nice

 

[Odinias]

This is fantastic news. This was the one thing that was really putting me off but now that we don't have to pay it, even better! More money saved.

 

[MarkP3D]

It's great news! Glad it's been retrospectively added to older cars too

 

[94JDH]

Offset by the fact any vehicle over 50k loSes the £3k grant if not registered by midnight 11th March - let's see how this pans out on signed agreements private or business lease for vehicles not collected yet - eek!

 

[94JDH]

Seems those who've checked existing orders already registered near order will be ok , panic over!

 

[Ev-Al]

So minimal depreciation, possible no luxury tax, zero normal VED and 0% BIK from April plus I just reduced my home charging to 5p/kwh ... just gets better!

Not sure where you get minimal depreciation from.

 

[Gore]

That £37,500 I paid is looking like a bargain right now. Thanks!

So is this policy all set to be implemented, or can it be amended or voted down? (don't know how these things work.)

 

[CasperStorm]

Govt has a significant majority - no chance of it not going through.

I know advertised price is not the same as sold price but judging by Autotrader they have appreciated rather than depreciated so far.
