Calculate vehicle tax rates

    Find out the tax rate for all vehicle types. Car vehicle tax rates are based on either engine size or fuel type and CO2 emissions, depending on when the vehicle was registered. Other types of vehicle have their own rates.

    You’ll need your vehicle details, including:

    • make
    • model
    • when it was registered

    For cars registered before 1 March 2001 the rate of vehicle tax depends on its engine size.

    The rate for cars registered on or after 1 March 2001 depends on CO2 emissions and fuel type. They’ll be taxed using the old system if this information isn’t available.

    Vehicle tax rates for cars, motorcycles, light goods vehicles and trades licences are also shown in the vehicle tax rate tables.
