EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.) The Disabled Drivers and Disabled Passengers Scheme provides relief from VAT and Vehicle Registration Tax (VRT), an exemption from motor tax and a grant in respect of fuel expenditure, on the purchase of an adapted car for transport of a permanently and severely disabled person within the terms of the Disabled Drivers and Disabled Passengers (Tax Concessions) Regulations. The scheme is open to persons who have obtained a primary medical certificate and satisfy certain other criteria and to organisations who fall within the definition of “qualifying organisations”. These Regulations amend the definition of “qualifying organisation” to ensure that their purpose is to provide services to persons with a disability (within the meaning of the Disability Act 2005 ) and to provide that they must be engaged in the care and transport of a person or persons who have obtained a primary medical certificate.
