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.

Answered by Dan Tomlinson - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury) Section 28(1) of the Local Government Finance Act 1992 provides the statutory basis for publishing and sharing the Council Tax valuation list.

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.

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.
