Understand UK car tax bands from A to M. See how your car's emissions determine what you pay, with a free tool to check your exact band.
UK car tax is split into bands based on your vehicle's CO2 emissions. The band your car falls into determines how much you pay each year.
These use a simpler system: a variable first-year rate based on emissions, then a flat £190/year standard rate. Cars over £40,000 pay an additional £410/year supplement.
Your V5C logbook shows your CO2 emissions, but the easiest way is to enter your reg and let us look it up for you.
