HC Deb 07 June 1978 vol 951 c188W
Mrs. Chalker

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will detail in the Official Report those amounts that the Exchequer will receive back from mobility allowance recipients leasing vehicles from Motability (a) in car tax, (b) in value added tax on purchase of car by the lessor, (c) in value added tax on the leasing rental, (d) in vehicle excise duty, (e) in excise duty and value added tax on petrol assuming a usage of 150 gallons per annum and (f) income tax on mobility allowance.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

Given the assumptions about vehicles pricing and the leasing rental made in Lord Good-man's letter of 22nd February to the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, and assuming that the individual car user is receiving mobility allowance at an annual rate of £520 and paying income tax at the basic rate of 34 per cent., the tax borne by Motability and the individual user on the purchase and annual use of each car would be somewhere about:

  1. (a) £142
  2. (b) £117
  3. (c) £34
  4. (d) £50
  5. (e) £58
  6. (f) £177
