Road Vehicle Excise Duty

Road Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), commonly known as vehicle tax or road tax, is an annual fee vehicle owners pay to the government for the right to use a vehicle on public roads. The amount payable depends on factors such as the vehicle's emissions, engine size, or historical registration date. The revenue helps fund road maintenance and transportation infrastructure. Paying VED is a legal requirement, and failure to do so can result in fines or the vehicle being deemed untaxed and unlawful to drive on public roads.
