Vehicle Road Tax Charges

If you are looking to tax my car and pay road tax, the cost of your vehicle tax may have changed since you last taxed your vehicle. Calculations are now determined by a specific range of factors across emissions, fuel type, age, and value.

Information that now affects how your vehicle tax is calculated:

Cars registered between 1 March 2001 and 31 March 2017

The rate of vehicle tax is based solely on fuel type and CO2 emissions.

Cars registered on or after 1 April 2017

  • You must pay tax when the vehicle is first registered, which covers the vehicle for 12 months.
  • You'll then pay vehicle tax every 6 or 12 months at a different rate.

Vehicles with a List Price of more than £40,000

  • You are required to pay an extra £355 a year if you have a car or motor home with a 'list price' (the published price before any discounts) of more than £40,000.
  • This additional fee does not apply to zero-emission vehicles.
  • You only have to pay this rate for 5 years (calculated from the second time the vehicle is taxed).

You must tax your vehicle. This legal requirement applies to all vehicles, even if you are exempt from payment.

How to Renew Your Vehicle Tax (or Car Tax)

To successfully renew your vehicle tax online, you must have the required reference number from one of the following documents:

  • DVLA Correspondence: A recent tax reminder or 'last chance' warning letter.
  • Your Log Book (V5C): The document must be registered in your current name.
  • New Keeper Slip: The green slip from the V5C, if you have recently bought the vehicle.

If you do not have any of these documents, you must first apply for a new log book. You can process your car tax application concurrently with the log book application.
