Motability: Insurance Premium Tax
Asked by: Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour - Poole) Tuesday 13th January 2026 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of limiting the relief from insurance premium under paragraph 3 of Schedule 7A to the Finance Act 1994 on disabled people. Answered by Dan Tomlinson - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury) At Budget 2025 the government announced reforms to the Motability scheme which will save over £1 billion over the next five years.
The VAT relief for top-up payments made to lease more expensive vehicles will be removed for new leases from July 2026, and Insurance Premium Tax will apply at the standard rate to insurance contracts on the Scheme. The VAT reliefs on weekly lease costs and vehicle resale will remain in place, and the tax changes will not apply to vehicles designed, or substantially and permanently adapted, for wheelchair or stretcher users.
These tax changes ensure Motability can continue to deliver for its customers, for example through the continued provision of a broad range of vehicle models available without any top-up payments. Further detail on the impacts of tax changes can be found in the Tax Impact and Information Note on GOV.UK Motability Scheme: reforming tax reliefs - GOV.UK.

Wednesday 1st October 2025 4:25 p.m. Welsh Conservatives Debate - The economy - Main Chamber NDM8988 Paul Davies (Preseli Pembrokeshire) To propose that the Senedd: 1. Notes the Labour Market Overview published by the Office for National Statistics on 16 September 2025. 2. Regrets that under the Welsh Government: a) Wales’s unemployment rate has increased; b) Wales’s employment rate has decreased and is the lowest in the United Kingdom; c) Wales’s economic inactivity rate has increased and is the highest in Great Britain; and d) Welsh wage packets are the lowest in the United Kingdom. 3. Calls on the Welsh Government to create more jobs in Wales and boost growth by: a) cutting the basic rate of income tax by 1 pence; b) scrapping business rates for small businesses; c) axing the tourism tax before it comes into force; d) levelling-up the whole of Wales with adequate levels of investment for all parts of the country; e) calling on the UK Government to drop the increase in Employer's National Insurance Contributions and to reverse inheritance tax changes which are adversely impacting Welsh family firms and family farms; and f) scrapping the default 20mph speed limit to get Wales moving. Labour Market Overview The following amendments were tabled: Amendment 1 Jane Hutt (Vale of Glamorgan) Delete all after point 1 and replace with: Notes the Welsh Government publication Labour market overview: September 2025. Welcomes that under the Welsh Government: a) Wales’s unemployment rate is lower than the UK rate; b) the employment rate gap between Wales and the UK has narrowed over the period since devolution; c) a range of support is in place to help economically inactive people return to work—particularly those facing complex barriers such as disability, long-term health conditions, or caring responsibilities; and d) in 2024, median gross weekly earnings for full-time adults working in Wales were higher than the North East of England, East Midlands, Northern Ireland and Yorkshire and the Humber. Labour market overview: September 2025 If amendment 1 is agreed, amendment 2 will be de-selected. Amendment 2 Heledd Fychan (South Wales Central) Delete all after point 2(d) and replace with: Regrets the detrimental impact of decisions made by successive Westminster Governments on the Welsh economy, including: a) the ongoing impact of Brexit, which has inflicted a £4 billion hit on the Welsh economy and is a major barrier to business growth; b) the ongoing impact of austerity measures on public finances; c) the failure to deliver a fair funding formula for Wales, despite cross-party support for this in the Senedd; d) the failure to deliver promises to provide the Senedd with greater flexibilities to manage its budget; e) the failure to devolve the Crown Estate to enable Wales to profit from its own natural resources; f) the failure to provide Wales with its fair share of HS2 consequentials; g) the failure to redistribute wealth evenly across the UK; and h) overseeing reckless fiscal policies, such as the Liz Truss mini budget, that have caused significant hardship for Welsh households. Believes that both the previous Conservative UK Government and the current Labour UK Government have repeatedly and emphatically demonstrated their lack of commitment to advancing Wales's financial and economic interests. Calls on the Welsh Government to boost jobs and growth by: a) showing it has influence within the ‘partnership of power’ by forcing the UK Labour Government to engage seriously with reforming Wales’s funding arrangements; b) make representations to the UK Labour Government to reverse the increase to employer National Insurance contributions; c) make representations to the UK Labour Government to rejoin the EU single market and customs union to promote economic growth; d) make representations to the UK Labour Government to reverse inheritance tax changes affecting Welsh family farms; e) demand full compensation from the UK Labour Government for costs incurred from designing and constructing redundant border infrastructure at Welsh ports, and invest the proceeds to support Welsh trade; and f) utilise new powers provided through the Local Government Finance Act to create preferential business rate multipliers for SMEs.
