Vehicle Excise Duty

Vehicle Excise Duty (VED)

First year rates - Cars registered on or after 1 April 2010 (based on fuel type and CO2 emissions)

From 1 April 2010, anyone buying a new car will pay a different rate of vehicle tax for the first tax disc. These are known as 'first year rates'.

From the second tax disc onwards, the standard rate of vehicle tax will apply. This will send a stronger signal to the buyer about the environmental implications of their car purchase and will only apply to new cars, not already registered cars.

Please note that the rates in the table below are only payable for a vehicle’s first tax disc taken out at first registration. All other tax discs will be charged according to the standard rate tables shown below.

Petrol car (TC48) and diesel car (TC49)

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.

Standard Rates - The following table contains the rates of vehicle tax for already registered cars.

Petrol car (TC48) and diesel car (TC49)

*Band K includes cars that have a CO2 figure over 225g/km but were registered before 23 March 2006
