Vehicle Excise Duty (VED).
All vehicles first registered on, or after, 23rd March 2006 are subject to a new form of Vehicle Excise Duty (Road Fund Licence).
This new duty is based upon the type of fuel the vehicle uses and its carbon dioxide (CO
2
) emissions level, measured in grams
per kilometre (g/km). To help you identify the duty you will pay, the DVLA has created seven categories for petrol engines and
seven categories for diesel engines.
The weight of a vehicle will influence the level of CO
2
emission it produces; as a result, vehicles with higher levels of
specification and factory-fitted options may emit higher levels of CO
2
.
The CO
2
figure quoted for each vehicle is the maximum possible. The unladen weight of the vehicle is calculated by range
at the time of manufacture and the maximum possible CO
2
emission for that weight range is applied according to the Council
Directive 80/1268EEC as amended by Commission Directive 1999/100/EC on the approximation of the laws of the member
states relating to the carbon dioxide emissions and the fuel consumption of motor vehicles.
