First Year Rate
Since 2010, new cars have been subject to a different rate of road tax during their first year from new. The first year rate is currently determined by a combination of CO2 emissions (higher CO2 = higher tax) and the type of fuel the car uses. It is only ever paid once, when the car leaves the showroom, and is always rolled into a car's full "on the road" price, so is the least visible of the road tax rates that may be applied to a car during its lifespan.
From April 1 2020, CO2 measured under the latest WLTP test scheme replaced the previous CO2 figures measured under the now defunct (and more optimistic) NEDC regime.

Annual Road Tax
From April 1 2017, if a car's total list price, including any factory-fitted options, exceeds £40,000, an additional rate of £410 per year is paid in the first five years that its road tax is renewed. This rate is only included in the figures shown below where the basic list price of a car - with no options - exceeds £40,000. Note that if adding options to a car priced under £40,000 in its basic form then pushes its price over £40,000, then the additional rate will apply. If buying new, always check with the dealer what the full list price of the car will be, including extras, so you know what road tax rate will apply at renewal.
×
Six-monthly Road Tax
From April 1 2017, if a car's total list price, including any factory-fitted options, exceeds £40,000, an additional rate of £225.50 per half year is paid in the first five years that its road tax is renewed. This rate is only included in the figures shown below where the basic list price of a car - with no options - exceeds £40,000. Note that if adding options to a car priced under £40,000 in its basic form then pushes its price over £40,000, then the additional rate will apply. If buying new, always check with the dealer what the full list price of the car will be, including extras, so you know what road tax rate will apply at renewal.
×
Additional Rate Road Tax
Figure shown includes additional rate of £410 (per year) or £225.50 (per half year) levied on cars registered after April 1 2017 with a list price over £40,000. The additional rate is only applied for the first five years that road tax is renewed; renewals after that incur the standard rate for the car's fuel type.
×
CO2 and VED Bands
Cars registered after March 1 2001 are classified into a range of bands according to their level of CO2 emissions, with cars in higher bands generally being subject to higher rates of road tax. The bandings were completely overhauled from April 1 2017, so that most cars registered after that date will belong to a higher band than previously. More significantly, where CO2 band was previously used to determine both first year rate and the standard rate at renewal, from April 1 2017, CO2 band is only used to work out the first year rate. The standard renewal rate is no longer based on CO2. From April 1 2020, CO2 measured under the latest WLTP test scheme replaced the previous CO2 figures measured under the now defunct (and more optimistic) NEDC regime.
