Historic Class can be claimed after 01/04/19 for any car built (or registered if you can’t prove build date) before 01/01/79 (actually they’ll accept 07/01/79).
MOT exemption runs from 40 years old (built or registered as above).

Yes, as the DVLA web site ( www.gov.uk/historic-vehicles/vehicles-exempt-from-vehicle-tax ) itself says: "You can apply to stop paying vehicle tax if your vehicle was built before 1 January 1978. You must tax your vehicle even if you do not have to pay. If you do not know when your vehicle was built, but it was first registered before 8 January 1978, you can still apply to stop paying vehicle tax." The DVLA web site only ever refers to the current state of things, in case anything in legislation changes. So it does not mention that, as long as nothing changes, you will be able to add a year on to the dates in the above statement from April 1st, meaning the OP can claim for VED exemption from April 1st this year. Contrary to some posts above, it does not happen when the vehicle becomes 40 years old, the cut-off date only jumps forward once a year. Also note that for cars just becoming eligible, if you were to prove that the car was built a year or two earlier, you may get a replacement registration for that year if you have the date applied. From around 1976 or 1977, the "application for a new registration" form required the supplier to declare that the car was new at first registration. So if you come back now and claim that it actually wasn't, you can expect a registration to reflect when it actually was new, i.e. the build date. |

Yes, the DVLA site I linked to above is now updated and reads
"You can apply to stop paying vehicle tax if your vehicle was built before 1 January 1979. You must tax your vehicle even if you do not have to pay.
If you do not know when your vehicle was built, but it was first registered before 8 January 1979, you can still apply to stop paying vehicle tax."

To answer your question very specifically: When Stormont resumes devolved government activity. Until then the rule does not apply here. |

Has anyone got round to obtaining tax exemption from build date rather than registered date?? I know when the tax exemption first came about, I was into beetles and we could get a birth cert to prove build date. Not sure how that stands these days. My cortina was registered may 83. last off the production line was july 82 and mine was built in 81 according to the vin data. got a while before I need to think about it too much mind.

Historic class VED is related to the budget and is changed each year (hence the financial year startpoint).
MOT exemption is written into law, hence a straight 40 years old starting point.

So if you are going to state totally wrong with vehement authority then you would need to post up the published NI ratification of the legislation, or else sit down and be grateful you sideswiped the system by dealing with people who didn't know the law around this. |

My cortina was registered may 83. last off the production line was july 82 and mine was built in 81 according to the vin data. got a while before I need to think about it too much mind. Yes, my car was manufactured in a different year to when it was registered, I got a certificate, had the build date added to the V5, then presented that and all went normally. But, but but. As I wrote above, in 1976 (or 1977, makes no difference to you) the "application for new registration" had to declare that a car was new at first registration. If you now go back to the DVLA and get them to accept that it actually wasn't new, it was really a couple of years old, there's a good chance that the DVLA will issue you with an "age appropriate" registration. So if you're attached to your registration, or have loads of history on that plate, you might not want to lose it. See this letter from Practical Classics from someone who had the same thing:  |
