GOVERNMENT plans to abolish road tax do not affect diesel-engined vehicles, but operators of light vans and company cars will be affected.
A Treasury spokesman told CM this week that only petrol-driven vehicles — cars and light vans — will be affected if the Government's thoughts are translated into policy.
He confirmed earlier suggestions that the £50 per year road tax would be replaced by a 20p surcharge on tax. This takes into account the allowance for 12.5 per cent value added tax.
