GB News: Rachel Reeves car tax hikes cause daily vehicle sales to drop as drivers no longer have 'confidence'
Van sales in the UK dropped nearly 12% following Rachel Reeves's Budget announcement last year, which included new car tax changes. The decline in sales, amounting to 2,165 fewer vans sold, reflects concerns about rising vehicle costs, particularly affecting trades and smaller businesses.
Experts suggest this trend indicates a decline in economic confidence, as the new tax measures will impact all vehicle owners starting in April. The changes will significantly alter first-year rates for various vehicle types, including electric and hybrid cars.
