Are commercial historic vehicles exempt from tax and ULEZ congestion charges?
If a van is registered as a historic vehicle and is used for business will it be exempt from tax and ULEZ and Congestion charges?

Historic vehicles that are exempt from road tax or ULEZ because of their age lose their exemption if they are used for hire or rewards, or used commercially for a trade or business. Historic vehicles of any kind are not exempt from the London Congestion Charge.
Will you have to pay the low emissions charge?
Use our ULEZ checker to find out if your vehicle is subject to ULEZ charges. Simply enter your number plate into the Honest John ULEZ checker to see if you will have to pay to enter the London Ultra Low Emission Zone.
