Apr 9, 2019
From 1st April 2019, road tax, car tax or Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) as it is officially known, will be calculated differently depending on: the year your car was first registered, its CO2 emissions, the type of fuel it uses, and in some cases, the value of the car itself. In most cases, however, apart from the most carbon efficient models, the amount of DVLA tax you’ll have to pay this year will be higher than 2018/19 rates.
The tables below will give you an easy way to estimate how much DVLA car tax you’ll have to pay this year. To do this, you will need to know your car’s CO2 Emissions (g/km) figure which you can from various sources, including your car’s handbook. However, if you would prefer an exact figure as opposed to an estimate, you can visit the Government’s Road Tax checker tool at: https://www.gov.uk/check-vehicle-tax.
To use this tool, simply enter your car reg number to find out your car’s CO2 emissions rating. To find out how much your road tax will cost, you will also need your car’s unique 11 digit reference number which is on your V5C registration certificate (logbook). Furthermore, this tool will give you your car tax renewal date and enable you to pay your car tax online.
