How car tax is calculated

For cars registered since March 2001, car tax rates are based on thirteen car tax bands (A to M), each band being defined by a range of tailpipe CO2 emissions as measured on the official test.

For cars registered before March 2001, CO2 emission data is generally less available. As a result, car tax is charged according to engine size as measured in cubic centimeters or 'cc'. There is one rate for engines up to 1549cc and one for 1550cc and over.

See car tax bands 2013-2014 section for details of the current rates or cars by tax band to find a list of vehicles available in each tax band.

Company car tax

If a vehicle is made available for private use by an employee, then the employee is liable to pay company car tax to reflect the'Benefit-in-Kind' (BIK) they have received. See our company car tax section for more information.
