Vehicle Tax Calculator, 2026
Covers motorcycles, cars (all engine sizes), buses, vans/trucks and electric vehicles — Art. 470 of the Cod Fiscal, with the emissions-standard table introduced by Law 239/2025.
How it's calculated
Engine displacement is divided by 200 and rounded up to the nearest whole unit (1,983 cm³ ÷ 200 = 9.9, so 10 units). The number of units is multiplied by the rate in the table, which depends on the vehicle category and the Euro emissions standard — older cars pay more at the same displacement. On top of this amount, the city hall adds its own additional rate, up to 50% (Art. 489 para. 2).
Special cases
Electric vehicles pay a fixed 40 lei/year, regardless of power. Hybrids with CO₂ emissions under 50 g/km get a 30% reduction from the normal rate for their Euro standard; those above this threshold use a dedicated table, slightly lower than the standard E6 rate.
Watercraft
Boats, leisure vessels, tugs and ships have a separate table (Art. 470 para. 8), with fixed annual amounts — no calculation based on engine displacement. The one exception is the "sport and leisure vessels" category, for which the law only gives a range (0–1,119 lei/year); the local council chooses the exact amount, just as with building tax — check your city hall's decision for the real figure.
