VED

Vehicle Excise Duty

Official sources checked 27 October 2026

What it means

The UK vehicle tax commonly called road tax. It is separate from a registration administration fee and from import VAT or customs duty.

The amount depends on the applicable tax rules and vehicle information. Registration dates, vehicle category and technical evidence can matter, so a quote needs more than the model name. Check current DVLA rates and the correct treatment for the import before relying on a figure.

Do not assume that a payment towards registration includes all vehicle tax, or that import-tax relief also settles VED. Ask for separate amounts in your cost breakdown. Keep the tax confirmation with the registration records and review the position before using the vehicle on the road.
