What can this record tell you about tax?

A complete annual total needs the exact version’s original tax list price and registration date. Use the sourced versions below where available, or get written evidence from the seller; a model-range starting price is not enough.

Current annual-renewal examples include no mileage charge. Check the registration assumptions before using a figure for your car.

An annual renewal example using current rates. Example first registration: 14 October 2025; annual renewal: 14 October 2026. No mileage charge is included before April 2028. This is a second-year renewal example, not first-year tax. Actual registration date, original list price and factory options can alter the result. Used cars need their actual dates. See assumptions.
