Who pays the road tax on a lease car, van or pickup?

If you don’t have the V5 how will you tax the car?

In a Contract Hire agreement, the funding company will tax your vehicle for you and send notification by post to confirm that this has been done.

The cost of your road tax will be included in your lease and will reflect the price of road tax at that time.

Should the price of road tax be raised, you’ll automatically be sent an invoice to pay the difference. If, on the other hand, the road tax is reduced then you’ll be sent a cheque to cover the difference.

For Contact Purchase agreements, your first year of tax will generally be included.

The funding company will then tax your vehicle for you whilst they hold the V5 and send you an invoice for this amount.
