VEHICLE TAX RATES ARE CHANGING FROM 1ST April 2025

ROAD TAX  IS CHANGING FROM 1ST April 2025

How much car tax do I pay?

Vehicle Excise Duty is linked directly to your car, van and the cost varies depending on vehicle age, list price and CO2 emissions. The different rates are known as car tax bands, road tax bands or VED bands.

Vehicle tax cost is based on:

• How old your vehicle is.
• Its engine size.
• Its official CO2 emissions. This figure is on the V5c registration document. It’s measured in official tests before a new model can be put on sale. 
• Since April 2017 it depends on the car’s list price when new, too.

Cars registered between on or after 1 April 2017

These are the VED rates for cars registered on or after 1 April 2017. Cost is first payment.
