Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations which come into force on 8th September 1989 amend the Car Tax Regulations 1985. By this amendment a car tax registered trader is required to preserve for three years a certificate issued by a lessor which states that the conditions for the relief from car tax for a vehicle supplied for leasing to a handicapped person have been met.

The making of these certificates and the relief from car tax in such cases were introduced by the Finance Act 1989.
