View answerThe current rates of motor tax that apply to all vehicles, including commercial vehicles, are set out in Part 1 of the Schedule to the Finance (Excise Duties) (Vehicles) Act 1952 as inserted by section 3 of the Motor Vehicle (Duties and Licences) (No. 2) Act 2008. I have no plans at present to amend these rates.
