New driving laws that occur in April 2025 that will affect the motorists of the United Kingdom

There are tax changes to take into account in April

The United Kingdom motorists must know the new laws and rules that affect drivers who enter into force in April 2025.

The government often uses the new fiscal year to generate new laws, and from next month there are some new laws that affect the conductors of the United Kingdom. Mainly, changes in the law affect the amount of fiscal motorists they must pay, but some additional things are happening.

Tax changes for the United Kingdom drivers will be activated from April 2025, such as electric vehicles that are required to pay Ved, and the tax paid in the company’s cars will increase.

In addition to the new automobile laws, other laws that enter into force in April include an increase in national employer insurance, an increase to the national minimum wage and a national dignified salary, and IIt is not reduced to the payment of parental license and payment for illness.

These are all the new laws that enter into force in April that will affect the conductors of the United Kingdom.

Electric vehicle drivers will pay taxes for the first time

Previously exempt from paying taxes, electric vehicle drivers (EV) will have to pay the Special Vehicle Tax (VED) since April.

EV drivers currently do not have to pay anything to tax their vehicle. But as of April 1, they must pay Ved. The measure was first announced by former Foreign Minister Tory Jeremy Hunt in 2022.

The new EVs, registered as of April 1, must pay the lowest first year VED rate, which is currently £ 10 a year. Then, from the second year of registration onwards, they will go to the standard VED rate, currently £ 190 a year. The EVs for the first time were recorded before April 1 of next year will pay the standard rate.

The expensive exemption from automobile supplements for EV is also due to the end, which means that electric cars recorded from April 1 will have to pay an additional position of £ 410 a year. It currently applies to cars worth more than 40,000 and must be paid during the first five years.

Higher taxes for company car drivers

The company’s drivers of the company will have to start paying higher taxes since April 2025. The so -called tax rates of benefit in kind (BIK), which apply to the people that their employer provides a car, will begin to increase from the beginning of the new fiscal year after being frozen since 2022.

As of April, BIK rates will increase by 1 percent in each tax group. For example, EV drivers will pay 3 percent, above the current 2 percent. BIK rates are higher for cars that emit more CO2. The highest rate is currently 37 percent for cars that produce more 154 g/km.

Tax Changes for First Year Automobiles

As of April 2025, the tax rate for first -year cars, often called Tax on the Exhibition Room, will increase for those who buy new cars, including electric vehicles.

From the second tax payment, the standard rate charged to all cars registered after April 2017 will be applied. This rate is currently 190 per year, but will increase to £ 195 since April 2025.

For those who buy a car that emits between 1-50 g/km of CO2 after April 2025, including hybrid vehicles, the tax rate rate of the first-year car will jump from £ 10 to £ 110. The rates for new cars that emit 51-75 g/km of CO2 will rise from £ 30 to £ 130, while all the other other cars that emit 76 g/km of CO2 and superior will double from their current level.

The cameras used are not fixed and are mounted on a trailer or a mobile truck.

The misunderstanding car financing probe to deliver their findings

The result of an important investigation into the incorrect sale of car finances is due in May 2025, which could result in thousands of drivers receive compensation.

The Financial Behavior Authority (FCA) is investigating car financing agreements containing the so -called “discretionary commission agreements” (DCA), which allowed car dealerships to adjust the interests offered to customers, increase their commission. The DCA were prohibited by the regulator in January 2021, but now it is investigating whether the compensation could be due to the affected motorists.

The money savings expert, Martin Lewis, has suggested that those who may be entitled to compensation waiting for the research results include buying a car, a truck or a motorcycle for personal use in finance before January 28, 2021.

If the FCA decides that the compensation is due, it is not yet clear how much money the drivers could obtain. Their figures suggest that drivers paid £ 1,100 plus interest in a typical four -year car financing agreement of £ 10,000 when there was a discretionary commission agreement.

Lewis has previously recommended a complaint sooner rather than later, in case a deadline is imposed later that any future complaint could cut.
