VED exemption for cars built in 1974
Our guide and flowchart is based on
our current understanding of how to make an application for a tax class change from PLG to "Historic" and
reports from fellow members
on their applications at either the Post Office or DVLA.

Check whether your local Post Office can handle tax class applications so you can apply in March or April 2015.

Since the Budget in March 2013 we have known a car built in 1974 would become road tax exempt from 1st April 2015. We have updated our flowchart (originally prepared ahead of the introduction of the 40 year VED exemption in 2014) on how to make an application for a tax class change from "PLG" to "Historic". We also have a link to a revised copy of our article providing a guide to the VED exemption and application process we released originally in 2014.
