Get free vehicle tax if you're a driver with a disability
You may not have to pay vehicle tax if either:
- you’re a disabled driver
- you have a certain type of vehicle
You can only use your exemption on one vehicle at a time. If you have more than one vehicle, you’ll need to choose which one will be exempt from vehicle tax.
This page is also available in Welsh (Cymraeg).
If you’re applying for the first time
If you have a used vehicle, you need to go to a Post Office branch that deals with vehicle tax.
To find a Post Office branch, you can either:
- use the Post Office branch finder - choose ‘Vehicle tax’ from the menu
- call the Post Office - ask for your nearest branch that deals with vehicle tax
