Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994 schedule 2 paragraph 9

Veterinary ambulances

Paragraph 9 of Schedule 2 provides that veterinary ambulances are exempt from vehicle excise duty, provided they meet specific conditions regarding their use and identification.

• A veterinary ambulance is completely exempt from vehicle excise duty (road tax).
• The vehicle must be used solely for transporting sick or injured animals to or from places where they receive veterinary treatment.
• The vehicle must be clearly marked with the words "Veterinary Ambulance" on both sides.
• Both conditions — exclusive use for animal transport and proper markings — must be met for the exemption to apply.
