| Percentage of car's price taxed from 6 April 2008
Based on CO2 emissions in grams per kilometre
Use the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders Limited site to find the emission level for your car. Once you have found your car's CO2 emission in g/km, use the table below to calculate the percentage of the car's price which will form the basis of your income tax charge.
See the notes at the bottom of this page, in particular if you drive a diesel car, if you make a contribution to the cost of the car or if you are an employer wondering what the NI implications are. | |
