Different rates apply to cars registered before April 2017, alternative fuel vehicles, and vehicles over 40 years old. First-year rates and additional rates for cars over £40,000 are not shown. Always verify at GOV.UK.
Cars registered before April 2017
Vehicles first registered between March 2001 and March 2017 are taxed under an earlier CO2-based system with different bands and rates. Cars registered before March 2001 are taxed based on engine size. Historic vehicles over 40 years old are exempt from VED.
