And the £1 billion saving?
Our modelling suggests that with these higher costs demand for the Scheme could collapse, leaving just £20 million a year in additional tax revenue by year four.
That's far less than the amount being claimed.
What could this mean?
Removing VAT relief on used Scheme car sales could add around £3,320 to a customer's Advance Payment.
The Conservatives also propose 20% VAT on new lease payments, adding £2,707 to leases. Together, these changes will put the Scheme out of reach for many.
Independence looks different for every customer.
