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.

The illustrative annual breakdown

10,000 miles · annual renewal April 2028
Confirm list price

Mileage component: £300 at 10,000 miles. Full total is unknown.

Confirm the original list price, exact specification and first-registration date before calculating the annual total.
A comparison scenario, not a future tax quote. Annual renewal on 1 April 2028; first registered 1 April 2027. Current VED rates are held constant, with announced mileage rates added. Options, registration date and future rate changes can alter the result. See assumptions.

All battery electric cars incur the same announced per-mile rate. A more efficient battery does not lower that mileage tax.
