Why are wheelchair vans expensive to tax?

I’m wondering why wheelchair accessible vans are so costly to tax.

Hi Peter,

Well, actually you shouldn’t have to pay motor tax at all. If you yourself are a disabled driver, or the person who drives with you is, you can apply for exemption from motor tax. You just need to get in contact with Revenue and fill in a couple of forms, and they’ll then send you an exemption tax disc.
