Rachel Reeves proposes cutting luxury car options from Motability scheme to save £1 billion

Chancellor Rachel Reeves plans to cut tax breaks on cars for disabled people through the Motability scheme to save £1 billion. The proposed changes could restrict luxury car options like BMWs and Mercedes, and reduce VAT and insurance tax exemptions. The scheme allows some benefit recipients to lease vehicles. The government is considering reforms amid concerns about scheme abuse and potential savings, though charities warn of increased costs for disabled individuals.
