A UK tax tribunal ruled that some public EV charging in Cumbria may qualify for a lower VAT rate, benefiting drivers without off-street parking.
A Cumbria-based EV charging company, Charge My Street, won part of a tax tribunal case challenging the standard VAT rate on public EV charging, with a tribunal ruling that some of its services may qualify for a reduced 5% rate.
The decision, based on the law’s plain meaning, recognized that drivers without off-street parking—common in rural areas—are unfairly burdened by higher charging costs.
The ruling applies to charge points in towns like Carlisle, Kendal, and Ambleside, where public access is essential.
However, the tribunal lacked enough information to determine whether all or only some of the company’s services qualify, leaving the full impact unresolved.
