    GR86 "Change of circumstances"

    I believe the £40k plus list figure for extra RFL for 5 years for Expensive/Luxury cars, is based on P11D figure which is list exc 1st 12m RFL and First reg fee. It started in 2017 and figure not changed. The crazy thing is EV's were excluded until April this year and EV's reg after then penalised.
