Change your vehicle's tax class
Vehicle changes that affect tax
If you make changes to your vehicle it could affect:
- how much vehicle tax you pay
- your vehicle’s tax class
This guide is also available in Welsh (Cymraeg).
Changes that affect your vehicle include:
- the engine size (cc)
- the fuel type
- the weight (goods vehicles only)
- the number of seats (buses only)
- what you use the vehicle for, for example using a minibus for profit
You will not have to pay vehicle tax or will pay a lower rate if it’s being used by:
- a disabled person
- an organisation providing transport for disabled people
How to change your vehicle’s tax class
How you change your vehicle’s tax class depends on if:
- the tax is due to run out (you’ve had a reminder or ‘last chance’ warning letter)
- the tax is not due to run out
- you’re changing whether or not the vehicle is exempt from vehicle tax, for example changing a car into or out of the disabled tax class
