Consultations & legislation
In its 1998 Integrated Transport White Paper, A New Deal for Transport: Better for Everyone, the Government recognised the important role motorcycles play as a flexible and affordable alternative to the car. The Government therefore set up the Advisory Group on Motorcycling in 1999 to advise on how to develop transport strategies reflecting the role of motorcycles.
In the Government's 1998 consultation on reforming vehicle excise duty (VED) to ensure a cleaner environment, reforms were considered to VED for cars, lorries and motorcycles. In subsequent Budgets, reforms have been made to both car and lorry VED.
Continuing the reforms to VED, the purpose of this consultation is to set out the Government's current thinking on the taxation of motorcycles and to seek the views of stakeholders on how the Government proposes to modernise the motorcycle VED system.
