📋 How VRT is Calculated

1. Base Rate (CO2 Based)

VRT rates range from 7% (EVs & ultra-low emission) to 37% (high emission vehicles). Lower CO2 = lower VRT.

2. NOx Surcharge (Diesel Only)

Diesel cars with NOx over 80 mg/km pay 1-5% extra surcharge on top of base VRT.

3. EV Relief (2026)

EVs under €50k get up to €5,000 relief. PHEVs under €50k with CO2 ≤50 get up to €2,500 relief.

4. Final Calculation

Final VRT = (OMSP × Base Rate) + NOx Surcharge - Relief
