It also reduces the qualifying emissions threshold for the first-year allowance from 75 grams to 50 grams per kilometre driven, in relation to expenditure incurred on or after 1st April 2018.
Article 5 reduces the qualifying emissions threshold for the main rate allowance from 130 grams to 110 grams per kilometre driven, in relation to expenditure incurred on or after 1st April 2018.
