Taxation of historic vehicles which don't meet the Vehicles of Historic Interest (VHI) criteria.

Published: 19/09/2017

It has become apparent from the extensive feedback we have been receiving following the publication of the DfT consultation results that there is some confusion regarding the taxation status of historic vehicles which do not pass the criteria to be considered Vehicles of Historic Interest (VHI). To be absolutely clear vehicles which attain the age of 40 years all fall within the Historic taxation class and pay no road fund licence fee. The VHI classification is only used as a test for roadworthiness testing exemption.
