A quick update from Budget 2027, which is limited to purchase related measures:
1. VRT Relief's been extended to 31/12/2028;
2. Category A VRT is increasing by 1 percentage point for each of bands 3 - 20 (i.e. those > 80gCO2/km) in 2027.
So what does this mean come 2027?
- No change for BEV prices.
- 90%+ of PHEVs prices will be unchanged, as WLTP emissions < 81gCO2/km (i.e. band 1 or 2), as per SIMI data shown.
