How is road tax calculated?

  1. Find the band. The rate of the band that contains the car’s weight applies.
  2. Multiply by the full weight. The rate is not tiered; it applies to the car’s entire weight. A 1,600 kg diesel car: 1,600 × 18.69 = 29,904 TL.
  3. Deduct the age discount. 15% if more than 5 years have passed since first registration in the TRNC, 40% after more than 10 years, 60% after more than 15 years.
  4. Choose how to pay. Pay annually or every six months: with six-monthly payment the annual amount is increased by 20% and half is paid each period.
