The Chancellor Philip Hammond has put the fleet industry on alert after announcing that he expects to reveal changes to the tax treatment of diesel vehicles in the autumn.
He said that the Government was committed to improving air quality, and will consult on a detailed draft plan in the spring which will set out how the UK’s air quality goals will be achieved.
Alongside this, he said it will “continue to explore the appropriate tax treatment for diesel vehicles, and will engage with stakeholders ahead of making any tax changes at Autumn Budget 2017”.
