Under current motor tax legislation exemptions are allowed for state-owned vehicles and vehicles such as fire engines, ambulances and those used exclusively for mountain and cave rescue. Under the current system there is no provision for the exemption of motor tax for vehicles such as those used by Blood Bikes. 

There are no plans at present to extend the list of vehicles which are exempt from motor tax.
