- New VAT road fuel scale charges apply from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2027 for private use of business vehicles.
- Charges are based on the vehicle’s CO2 emissions and the length of the VAT accounting period (1, 3, or 12 months).
- If the CO2 figure is not a multiple of 5, round down; if unavailable, use engine size to determine the band.
- Use the lowest CO2 (combined) figure if multiple are listed; treat cars with the same CO2 band as one car.
- The valuation table provides VAT-inclusive charges for each CO2 band and accounting period.
