Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994 Schedule 5 Part I

Repeals

Schedule 5 Part I lists the provisions of earlier legislation that are repealed as a consequence of the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994 consolidating and replacing the previous law on vehicle excise duty and registration.

• The Vehicles (Excise) Act 1971, which was the principal earlier statute governing vehicle excise duty, is repealed in its entirety.
• Numerous provisions in Finance Acts from 1966 to 1994 that amended or supplemented the 1971 Act are repealed, as their content has been absorbed into the 1994 consolidation.
• Consequential references to vehicle excise legislation in other Acts — including the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988, the Consumer Credit Act 1974, the Criminal Justice Act 1991 and the Disability Living Allowance and Disability Working Allowance Act 1991 — are also repealed.
• The repeals tidy up the statute book by removing superseded provisions, ensuring that the 1994 Act becomes the single authoritative source of law on vehicle excise and registration.
