Start with the registration

We will fill in the available vehicle details. You confirm what matters for tax before calculating.

Registration lookup needs JavaScript. Use the manual tax calculator or official vehicle-tax service.

DVSA vehicle record

Vehicle found

Check that these details match the car. This record does not confirm the original list price or the exact factory options.

Confirm the details for tax

Complete anything missing. Annual mileage and tax renewal are your inputs; we do not infer them from MOT mileage or expiry.

What are you calculating?First payment means the car is being registered for the first time. Buying used or pre-registered does not restart it.

Car typeConfirm the actual powertrain and that this is a passenger car.

First registration dateConfirm the actual first-registration date from the vehicle records.

Original list price (£)Original price including paid factory options and delivery, before discounts or grants.

Annual mileageYour expected full-year mileage, including petrol-powered miles in a plug-in hybrid.

Annual renewal dateFor annual renewal, enter the tax date, not the MOT expiry. A new car’s first payment uses its first-registration date.

We will check whether the original list price is needed for your chosen dates.

Find model and original-price evidence. A current starting price or a used asking price is not proof of the original price of this car.

I confirm these details apply to a battery electric or plug-in hybrid passenger car, including its actual first-registration date.

The calculator recalculates the supplement for each date. Future illustrations hold current VED rates constant; future rates may change.

No registration, or buying brand-new?

Calculate a new car’s first-year and later tax without a registration, use the manual annual calculator or find price evidence. This calculator covers ordinary battery electric and plug-in hybrid passenger cars. Relicensing within the first year and early or repeated relicensing around April 2028 need separate treatment.

Basic vehicle details: DVSA MOT history API. We use vehicle fields here; you do not need to read an MOT report. For unusual classes, imports or exemptions, confirm the details with GOV.UK.
