If you’re a blue badge holder, you might be exempt from paying road tax, also known as vehicle excise duty. However your eligibility will depend on what component of disability or personal independence payments you collect. If not a full exemption, you may still be eligible for a reduction in the amount of vehicle tax you pay. You claim this exemption when applying for road tax, but if it’s the first time you’re doing this for a vehicle you’ll need to make a claim at a post office – and you’ll need to do this every time you change your car. You can find out more about your eligibility for road tax exemption on the government website.
