Authorship & editorial policy

Clear sources. Accountable publishing.

Substance Digital Ltd publishes and maintains EV Tax Guide. The original detailed guides are credited to the organisation rather than a fictional individual or an unverified tax specialist.

How these guides were prepared

The guides were drafted with AI assistance for Substance Digital Ltd. The government publications linked on each article were opened and checked, and the worked-example totals were verified against the site's calculation engine. The visible date records those checks; it does not mean HMRC, DVLA or an independent tax professional approved the article.

What the checks cover

Each example states its dates, price basis, mileage and applicable assumptions. Current rates and future scenarios are distinguished. Original scenarios use hypothetical cars so that a model badge or a changing dealer advert cannot silently alter the example. Our checks cover the cited rules and numerical consistency, not every possible tax circumstance.

Updates and corrections

Article source snapshots are fixed to the checked date. A change to calculator data does not silently rewrite a dated worked example. Before using an amount, check the article's year and current government guidance. If evidence changes, the affected explanation and examples need another source check and an updated article date.

Contact Substance Digital Ltd with the page URL, the disputed statement and the official evidence. Corrections are checked against the cited source and recorded in the site's editorial records when made.

Independence and limits

Advertising does not set a tax result or determine which vehicle is cheapest in a calculation. We are not HMRC or DVLA and do not claim professional tax qualifications or independent professional review. This is general information; use DVLA for a licence amount and payroll or a qualified adviser for individual company-car arrangements.
