In a move aimed at supporting the transport sector amid ongoing geopolitical tensions, hauliers are set to receive a 12-month road tax holiday, potentially saving up to £912 per vehicle. This decision comes as part of a broader economic strategy to ease the financial burden on drivers and businesses following the disruption caused by the conflict between the United States and Iran.
