Making Tax Digital Action Plan: https://youraccountant.link/MTDACTI...

The Government has confirmed that its controversial pay-per-mile car tax will come into force in April 2028, setting out the final rules that will affect millions of electric vehicle (EV) and plug-in hybrid drivers across the UK.

The new Electric Vehicle Excise Duty (eVED) was first announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves in last year's Autumn Budget as part of plans to replace falling fuel duty revenues as more motorists switch from petrol and diesel cars.

Under the scheme, fully electric vehicles will be charged 3p per mile, while plug-in hybrid drivers will pay 1.5p per mile.

One of the biggest changes is the decision to scrap plans for additional mileage inspections on vehicles less than three years old, which are currently exempt from annual MOT tests.

Instead, drivers of newer vehicles will submit an odometer reading each time they renew their Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), along with an estimate of how many miles they expect to drive over the following year. The DVLA will use this information to calculate an estimated eVED charge.

Once a vehicle is old enough to require an MOT, the recorded odometer reading will be verified and compared with the mileage previously declared by the owner.
