  • Historic Vehicle

    I just had a letter from the DVLA to say I taxed my vehicle as PLG and it should have been taxed as Historic as it was built before 1975, and that they have arranged a full refund. Very nice. I didn't realise the rules had changed and my car had become tax exempt. They also sent me a new V5 to reflect this, although the new document still says taxation class PLG. D'you think they made a a mistake that I should keep quiet about?

    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

    Loads of Marlin Reference can be found documents here or there.

        Excellent, so there is.
        This Tax Information and Impact Note explains the extended exemption from Vehicle Excise Duty to vehicles constructed before 1 January 1974.
