answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/04/2018 answer text <p>The government uses the tax system to encourage the purchase of cars with low carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) emissions. The Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) system works in a technology-neutral manner to encourage uptake of fuel efficient, low CO<sub>2</sub> emitting models irrespective of whether they are fuelled by petrol, diesel or battery power. This means the very cleanest zero-emission cars – that also produce no air quality pollutants – pay nothing in the first year of registration.</p><p> </p><p>HM Treasury keeps transport taxes under review, as it does with all taxes, and if the Chancellor decides to make changes, he will announce them at fiscal events.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 18/04/2018 13:55:21 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
