Expensive car suplement

[nigel4]

As I understand it the IM5 LR & performance purchased now will be subject to the £440 a year expensive car suplement for the mext 6 years; but if we wait 5 months it will be exempt. Is this right?

Is anyone thinking about delaying their order?

It is from April 2026, but also affect cars bought after April 2025. So if you bought a car between those two dates you wouldn't pay the tax.

Doesn't affect me as I'm only buying cars that I can pay for outright after trade in.

Luxury car tax kicks in at year two and runs to six, so 4 years but yeah it stops for cars up to £50 k next April.

It is the car's registration date that counts, not when you buy it. Although these normally go together, if you are buying ex-demo or pre-registered they will be different.
