Rachel Reeves issued warning over drivers 'clocking' to beat pay per mile tax

Rachel Reeves has been warned that UK motorists could turn to clocking their odometers in a desperate bid to beat the Chancellor's new pay-per-mile car tax fee. Dan Reavley, Head of Motor Finance at Anglo Scottish Asset Finance, has explained that the Government needed to quickly come up with solutions to prevent electric car owners from taking advantage.

Clocking a car artificially reduces a car's visible mileage, making it appear as though vehicles have travelled a lot less than they actually have. Clocking a car is against the rules, but Dan has warned motorists "feeling the squeeze" may adopt the desperate tactic in a blow to the scheme.
