Important Changes To RFL

(Posted on 22/12/16)

From the 1st April 2017 the charges for first registration and subsequent yearly Road Fund Licence (RFL) will be changing. Any vehicles registered before April will be subject to the current regime, because of this many people will be looking to replace existing cars before the change.

The first registration is still free for electric and hydrogen cars but the relief for lower CO2 emitting vehicles has been reduced considerably. Cars over the value of £40,000 will be charged an additional £310 RFL per year for the first five years.

This table shows the new rates:

* cars costing over £40,000 pay £310 additional rate for 5 years

# alternative fuel discount of £10 on all qualifying cars
