Road Tax 2026: Platform Opens, What You Need to Know

The platform for road tax 2026 has opened, with no changes in amounts compared to last year. Vehicle owners can access payment notices through the myCAR platform of the AADE.

For cars registered up to October 31, 2010, fees are calculated based on engine capacity. For vehicles registered from November 1, 2010, to December 31, 2020, the calculation is based on CO₂ emissions. Newer vehicles, registered after January 1, 2021, have a differentiated system that encourages the use of more environmentally friendly cars.

Penalties: In case of late payment, a penalty of 25% of the amount is imposed if the fees are paid within January, 50% if paid in February, and 100% from March 1 onwards. The minimum fine is 30 euros.

Important Information:

• In case of vehicle transfer, the fees are the responsibility of the owner on January 1.
• In cases of joint ownership, payment of the total amount once is sufficient.
• Those who do not wish to circulate their vehicle in 2026 can put it into digital immobilization via myCAR until December 31, 2025.

Caution: Circulation of a vehicle in immobilization incurs a fine of 10,000 euros and license revocation for three years.
