Research would also lead us to believe an increase on car insurance of \u00a315 per year. However, the government insists that despite the change in IPT, drivers may see a decrease in motoring costs as there is a crackdown on whiplash claims and a freeze in fuel duty also on its way.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">IPT \u2013 when it will affect you<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">Policies arranged <strong>after<\/strong> 1st June<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">Unlike the two previous changes there will be no concessionary period, meaning new policies and renewals arranged after the 1st June will automatically come with the higher 12% rate. Mid-term adjustments will also be affected by the rate change, for example if a business has relocated or expanded it will do so at the 12% rate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">Policies arranged\u00a0<strong>before<\/strong> 1st June<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">It won\u2019t apply, however, to policies arranged or renewed before the 1st June. Any mid-term adjustments or cancellations will also follow the same rate as that which the policy was arranged with \u2013 so 10% if it was purchased before 1st June.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">If you\u2019re unsure as to what level of IPT will apply to your policy and how much this will amount to, feel free to contact us on 0161 786 3160, we will be more than happy to help.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The constant flurry of reports regarding the rise of car insurance premiums in the last six months have been the talking point of the insurance industry.
