What makes a car in the UK tax exempt? thanks?

Answer 1

Super low carbon output that puts you in band A for car tax and below what is possible w. petrol/gas, so you have to be rich and have a half electric Toyota prirus etc. Or classic car status over 25 years old, they've paid enough tax already!
Ironically electric hybrids have the largest lifetime carbon footprints of any vehicles in case you really thought you were saving the Earth.

Answer 2

Your car must be a pre 1974 registration to be exempt of Road Tax.
Originally the idea was to make any vehicle over 25 years of age exempt, but as vehicles last longer nowadays the Government did a bit of back-tracking and put a cut off date of 1974.
Plus of course disabled drivers , agricultural & showmans vehicles, Electricaly powered vehicles etc.

Hope this helps.

If you advise the DVLA in writing that your car is off the road-like one you are restoring or permanemtly on your drive that sort of thing-then you can avoid road tax.
