Registration tax

Figures as of July 2026 · EUR

This is the CO2-based registration charge only. It excludes registration services, number plates and any import or transport costs. Regitra confirms the binding amount.

How the tax is worked out

The tax can apply when a vehicle is first registered, a keeper changes, or a vehicle is registered again after deregistration. For M1 passenger cars and N1 light commercials it is due only when CO2 emissions are above 130 g/km. Below that, the tax is zero, including for electric cars.

Each 10 g/km band above the threshold adds a fixed amount. The petrol amount is the base. Diesel cars pay twice that amount, cars on LPG, CNG or other alternative fuel pay 90 percent of it. The base amounts are then scaled by the annual consumer-price index. The 2026 index is 144.2, applied from 2026-01-09.

This page estimates the CO2-based registration tax only. Regitra’s registration service, certificate and number-plate fees are separate, so the total registration cost can be higher.
