For electric vehicles, the MTV is calculated as 25% of the Tariff I row that corresponds to your motor power (kW); the registration date selection isn't used in this case.
MTV is paid in two equal installments, one in January and one in July.
How Is the MTV Amount Determined?
The motor vehicle tax (MTV) is read from a fixed tariff table — based on your vehicle's engine size (or motor power for electric vehicles) and its age — that the Ministry of Treasury and Finance publishes in the Official Gazette every year. For cars registered on or after 1/1/2018, the vehicle's value is also used as a breakdown in the tariff (Tariff I); for vehicles registered before that date, only the engine size and age are needed (Tariff I/A).
When to use it: to see your annual tax burden in advance before buying a used car (since MTV decreases in steps as a vehicle ages, this is an important factor in a purchase decision), to compare the tax burden of a petrol/diesel vehicle against an electric one, to plan how much to set aside in your yearly budget for the January and July installments, or to compare the long-term tax cost of different engine size options (e.g. 1600 cc versus 2000 cc).
The calculation picks the correct tariff table (I or I/A) based on the registration date you select, applies your engine size bracket and vehicle age (and, under Tariff I, your vehicle value) to the tariff, and shows the result both as an annual total and as two equal installment amounts for January/July. Since there's no separate tariff table for electric vehicles, your motor power (kW) is first mapped to the corresponding engine size bracket in Tariff I, and 25% of that amount is taken.
The 2026 tariff table embedded in this tool is based on Communiqué No. 58 published in the Official Gazette, and MTV amounts are redetermined every December according to the revaluation rate — so the tariff needs to be updated by hand every year.
