Registration tax 2026 — how is it calculated?
Two things together determine it: the vehicle data set the tax base, and the time since first registration reduces it — down to a tenth.
Three steps, not an estimate
- Tax base — for a passenger car by power output (kW) and emission class, for a motorcycle by power output. For a fully electric vehicle, 0 Ft.
- Months elapsed — (year of registration − year of first registration) × 12 + (month of registration − month of first registration) + 1. Days do not count, but the starting month does.
- Multiplier — by the months elapsed, from 1.00 down to 0.10. The tax payable is the base times the multiplier, without rounding.
A check example from the official table: 0–10 kW motorcycle, 18 months → 47,000 × 0.77 = 36.190 Ft.
Step 1 — tax base for motorcycles
This is the tax base, not the tax payable. For a passenger car the tax base is set by power and environmental class together: within the same kW band the wrong class can cause a twenty-four-fold difference, so the final amount needs field V.9 of the registration certificate.
Step 3 — depreciation multiplier
Real examples for motorcycles
It is not true that registration tax on a motorcycle depends solely on power. Half the official formula is the age: on a 16-year-old bike the tax payable is 4,700 Ft instead of 47,000 Ft — a tenfold difference.
These are basic official fees. On top come our service fee and, for a priority case, its fee.
When is there no registration tax?
- Fully electric vehicle (5E / 5Z) — the tax base is 0 Ft and it is exempt from the transfer duty too.
- Electric motorcycle — under the official table the tax base is 0 Ft.
- Classic (OT) vehicle — with museum classification there is no registration tax. On many cars over 30 years old this saves a lot.
- Categories exempt from registration tax — no registration tax is payable on trucks, buses or trailers.
