Car tax is paid once a year. It is calculated on its :

• Kilowatts
• Horse power
• Fuel type: petrol or diesel
• Year of manufacture
• Emission standard: Euro 0 – 5

It’s not displayed on windscreens like in the UK. You are never sent a reminder to pay and all you get when you pay is a receipt - a bit like a lottery ticket. Keep all receipts in a safe place as you may be asked to produce them if you are stopped at a roadside spot-check by the police etc.

How much do I have to pay?
