Discount cars for Diplomats

What are the HMRC rules with regards to vehicle tax?

HMRC states that Diplomatic missions, consulates and their senior staff may:

import goods or remove them from customs or excise warehouses free of tax and duty
acquire new means of transport from other European Union (EU) member-states free of VAT
receive refunds of tax and duty on fuel oils
and buy motor vehicles manufactured in the EU or European Free Trade Area free of VAT

This is on condition that the goods are for the official use of the mission or for the personal use of those senior staff and their dependants. There are quantitative limits for motor vehicles, cigarettes and spirits. (Trade centres, cultural institutes and tourist offices are not normally entitled to any privileges nor are British nationals and permanent British residents).
