• how much vehicle tax you pay
• your vehicles tax class

Changes that affect your vehicle include:

• the engine size (cc)
• the fuel type
• the weight (goods vehicles only)
• the number of seats (buses only)
• what you use the vehicle for, for example using a minibus for profit

You will not have to pay vehicle tax or will pay a lower rate if its being used by:

• a disabled person
• an organisation providing transport for disabled people

How to change your vehicles tax class

How you change your vehicles tax class depends on if:

• the tax is due to run out (youve had a reminder or last chance warning letter)
• the tax is not due to run out
• youre changing whether or not the vehicle is exempt from vehicle tax, for example changing a car into or out of the disabled tax class
