If a vehicle emits less than 100g/km of CO2 emissions then its owner is exempt from paying road tax. As a result of these guidelines, which are outlined in further detail on the Money Advice Service website, an increasing number of British motorists now purchase or lease these 'tax-free' vehicles. Consequently, if you have been considering leasing a car and have been looking for a cost-effective, high performance vehicle then listed below are five of the most popular lease cars currently on the market that are completely tax free:
