BVRLA calls for Budget EV support
Date: 07 February 2023 | Author: Sean Keywood
The BVRLA has requested more support for EV adoption in the UK Government's upcoming Budget.
The rental and leasing industry body said its submission to the government, based on extensive consultation with BVRLA members, asked it to freeze VED rates, remove the VAT disparity affecting EV charging, provide foresight on the potential future introduction of road pricing, and introduce a successor to the green super-deduction.
BVRLA director of corporate affairs Toby Poston said: "Last Autumn the Government maintained momentum in fleet decarbonisation by delivering greater certainty on supportive Benefit in Kind tax rates.
"Now we are asking them to apply the same logic to other elements of the motoring tax regime. Together, these measures would provide a wider boost to business investment in zero emission vehicles and infrastructure."
The BVRLA has also announced that its first Fleets in Charge webinar of the year, entitled 'Plugging the gap: foundations for fleet charging', will be held on 8 March, with attendance free for industry professionals.
