Details of Section 85
6.Subsection (1) of section 85 extends the exemption from VED contained in paragraph 1A of Schedule 2 of VERA to vehicles constructed before 1 January 1975.
7.Subsection (2) of section 85 provides for the extension of the exemption to come into force on 1 April 2015. It also provides a transitional provision so that a nil licence does not need to be in force on 1 April 2015 in respect of a vehicle constructed before 1 January 1975 if there is a vehicle licence already in force in respect of that vehicle. When the existing vehicle licence expires, a nil licence will need to be in force for the vehicle.
