Vehicle Tax

As of the 13 March 2008, the vehicle tax is now based on fuel type and CO2 emissions for cars registered after 1 March 2001. A list of the bands can be found on the Government website Directgov

Cars registered prior to 1 March 2001 are taxed based on their engine size, which is easy to find out.

However, if your car is registered after 1 March 2001, the following links can be used to find out your cars' CO2 emissions and which band it resides:

1. Car fuel data- A general make and model lookup database .
2. Vehicle Enquiry page on the DVLAs Vehicle Licensing website - Specific car lookup.
