Road Tax Bands for Cars, Vans, Motorbikes


No one likes paying tax, especially road tax. The latest budget has seen road tax increase for most cars as the UK strives to become more green.

You can calculate your road tax payment below.

In all cases, it is cheaper to buy the 12 month road tax. This often saves up to 10% on the cost of running your vehicle when compared to 6 months road tax. However, personal circumstances often effect this.

To view which tax bands different cars are in, choose a car and view its car technical data here.
