1. What is Vehicle Tax?

The motor vehicle tax is a government levy imposed on the purchase or ownership of vehicles. Rates vary by region and are typically calculated as a percentage of the vehicle's price.

The calculator uses the simple tax formula:

Where:

• \( Vehicle\ Price \) — The purchase price or assessed value of the vehicle
