Cars registered on or after 1 March 2001 (based on fuel type and CO2
emissions)
The rates shown only apply to cars
that have been type approved in category M1 and registered on the
basis of CO2 emissions measured in grams per kilometre (g/km)
driven. These details are shown on the registration certificate
(V5C).
Vehicle tax rates for
cars registered on or after 1 March 2001 are split into 13 bands
depending on CO2 emissions. The amount you'll pay depends on which
band your car is in. The lower a car’s emissions, the lower the
vehicle tax payable on it.
