How to get a 50% reduction on your vehicle tax

Reduced vehicle tax for wheelchair vehicle owners

If you own or are considering buying a wheelchair accessible vehicle, you may be eligible for a reduction in the tax you pay. Provided you meet certain requirements.

Eligibility

You could get a 50% reduction in the cost of your tax if you get the PIP standard rate mobility component.

You can’t get a reduction for getting the DLA (Disability Living Allowance) lower rate mobility component.

How to claim
Send all of the following to DVLA Swansea:

1. your statement of entitlement (it’s at the end of your PIP award letter)
2. the vehicle registration certificate (V5C)
3. a V10 form
4. an original MOT or GVT certificate (if your vehicle needs one)
5. a cheque or payable order (made out to ‘DVLA, Swansea’) for 50% of the full rate of car tax for the vehicle
