RFL

Also called: Road Fund Licence RFL means Road Fund Licence, an outdated informal name sometimes used for UK Vehicle Excise Duty. The current statutory term is Vehicle Excise Duty, commonly called vehicle tax. There is no current UK "road fund" into which the charge is directly paid. Using VED avoids confusion when discussing current tax rules. Electric vehicles have been liable for VED since 1 April 2025, so older claims that EVs are exempt from road tax are no longer current.
