    Hi and welcome,

    I'm one of the community champions here on scope and i'm here to help and advise others. If you claim the free road tax then the car can only be used for the purpose of your daughter, she doesn't need to be in the car for every journey though. Whether this would allow you to use the car for work purposes then i'm unsure. It does state on this link here that It must be only be used for the disabled person’s personal needs. That means the vehicle can’t be used by the nominated driver for their own personal use.

    Close to where I used to work there was an access road that linked two major motorways. Every month/week there would be a police stop organised by the DVLA, HMRC and the police. One of the things that people were caught out on was driving home from work in a car where the vehicle had already been flagged up as one that was exempt from road tax (disability car) The driver was always prosecuted as not having Road Tax after telling them that they were not the disabled person.
