Lithuania vehicle registration tax calculator
The one-time registration tax (registracijos mokestis) you pay when a car is first registered in Lithuania, worked out from its CO2 emissions and fuel type using the official 2026 indexed rates. Figures as of July 2026.
How the tax is worked out
The tax applies to M1 passenger cars and N1 light commercials and 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 covers the registration tax (registracijos mokestis) only. Lithuania also levies a separate one-time pollution tax (tarsos mokestis) at first registration, so the total cost to put a car on LT plates can be higher than the figure shown here.
