From 1 January 2018 all newly licensed taxis must be capable of producing zero emissions. London-licensed taxis are exempt from ULEZ – they are subject to a 15-year age limit and new emissions standards have already been introduced for them. From 27 October 2025 vehicles with ‘disabled’ or ‘disabled passenger vehicles’ tax class that do not meet the ULEZ emission standards will be liable for the daily ULEZ charge.Blue Badge holders will need to pay the charge from 8 April 2019 unless their vehicle meets the new ULEZ emission standards or is registered with the DVLA with a ‘disabled’ or ‘disabled passenger vehicle’ tax class.We’ll explain how to register your vehicle closer to the time If your ‘disabled’ vehicle is registered outside the UK, you are also exempt from ULEZ during the sunset period, but will need to register with us. If your UK-registered vehicle is in this category, you don’t need to register with us to get the exemption.(Vehicles operated by or on behalf of TfL will not benefit from this sunset period.) Read the eligibility criteria for the disabled exemption on Gov.uk They’ll be exempt from the ULEZ charge until 26 October 2025 as long as their vehicle doesn’t change tax class. Keepers of vehicles registered with a ‘disabled’ or ‘disabled passenger vehicles’ tax class will benefit from a sunset period after the ULEZ starts.From 25 October 2021, residents must pay the full daily ULEZ charge to drive a vehicle in the zone if it does not meet the ULEZ standards.Residents using a vehicle that doesn’t meet the T-Charge emissions standards will continue to pay the T-Charge, at a discounted rate of 90%, during the ULEZ resident sunset period.This discount will only apply while they live within the zone and are registered with us.The sunset period will apply from 8 April 2019 to 24 October 2021

The discount will be available to those who live within the ULEZ and in designated areas next to the boundary where the Congestion Charge residents’ discount applies.This will give them more time to change their vehicle to meet the ULEZ standards Residents who are registered for the residents’ Congestion Charge discount will be granted a time-limited ‘sunset period’ where a 100% discount from the ULEZ will apply to their vehicles.Residents living in ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone)
