Remove or substantially reduce VAT on new electric vehicle.
I believe the UK government needs to kick start adoption by improving the subsidiary on vehicles upto £50000. The small subsidiary already given on electric vehicles is clearly not enough to encourage early adoption, the government gives with one hand and takes back more in VAT in another.
I and many dealers I have visited and people I have spoken to all agree that the current level of VAT on electric vehicles should be removed all together or at the least reduced substantially to help encourage the early adoption of electric vehicles in the UK.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about incentives for people to buy electric vehicles, but it's not clear if you want the Government to improve subsidies for electric vehicles, reduce taxes for these vehicles, or both.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:
