> **Quick answer:** fleet operators and leasing companies can submit **estimated mileage centrally** for their vehicles rather than car by car, and the government expects those estimates to **align with each vehicle's contracted mileage allowance**. The Treasury acknowledges the one-off cost of updating processes to estimate, declare and reconcile; the records behind it are the ones a well-run fleet already keeps.

## What operators need before April 2028

- A per-vehicle odometer capture at each renewal (telematics exports or driver photo).
- An estimating method that reconciles to contracts and to last year's actuals.
- Reconciliation workflow for balancing payments and credits across the fleet.
- Handover readings when vehicles change driver, come off lease or are defleeted.

## Where it touches existing records

Daily [walkaround checks](https://www.logbook.co.uk/driver-walkaround-check-template/) and fleet inspection logs already capture odometer readings; from 2028 those readings carry tax consequences, so the discipline of accurate, dated entries moves from good practice to necessity. Tachograph and [working time](https://www.logbook.co.uk/working-time-directive-driver-hours-uk/) records are untouched by eVED, which applies to cars only.

## FAQs

**Who is liable, the lessor or the driver?**  
The registered keeper declares and pays; leasing contracts will set out how the cost passes through. Expect lease agreements to be rewritten around contracted mileage before 2028.

**Are vans included?**  
Not in the initial design: eVED applies to cars (BEV, PHEV, hydrogen fuel-cell).
