Vertu’s chief executive Robert Forrester warned about the Government’s ‘crazy’ motoring tax plans and ‘tax-raising gimmicks’, including a Blue Badge tax on Motability vehicles.
He said: ‘Instead of tackling the real problem of who qualifies for the subsidised cars for disabled people, we are hearing about an extraordinary policy to levy VAT on the vehicles – a Blue Badge tax which could increase what the car costs by an average of £6,500.’
Mail journalists scooped three major awards.
