From 6th April 2025, HMRC’s definition of a double cab pick up (DCPU) is changing. From this date, most double cab pickups are likely to be classed as cars rather than vans. This is what you need to know.
If you drive an electric vehicle, you need to be aware of these changes to road tax. Currently, electric vehicles (EVs) are exempt from Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) also known as road tax. However, from 1 April 2025, drivers of electric and low emission cars, vans and motorcycles in the UK will need to pay VED, in the same way that drivers of petrol and diesel cars do. In addition, electric cars with a list price that exceeds £40k will no longer be expempt from the “expensive car” supplement.
