Basis of Assessment

The basis of assessment (BOA) is the specific vehicle detail which facilitates the calculation of the motor tax fee appropriate to certain vehicles e.g. engine capacity or CO2 emissions for private vehicles or unladen weight for goods vehicles.

For Private Cars first registered before 1 January 2008 the basis of assessment is the engine cubic capacity. New private cars first registered between 1 January 2008 and 30 June 2008 initially had their motor tax charged on the basis of engine size. If it was beneficial for these cars to switch to the CO 2 based motor tax system, this was effected on the first renewal of motor tax after 1 July 2008. New cars which were registered in the first six months of 2008 whose tax would be more under the CO 2 based system continue to pay motor tax on the basis of engine size.

For Private Cars registered after 1 July 2008 the basis of assessment is determined on the basis of the vehicles CO2 rating.

You should contact them in advance to find out if any other supporting documentation is needed.

** A minimum of 3 unexpired whole calendar months must be left on the disc when it is surrendered to the motor tax office.

** Form RF120 is available at your local motor tax office or by clicking here.
** Refunds are generally only given where a vehicle is scrapped (by an Authorised Treatment Facility only), stolen or exported. They are not given where a vehicle has been sold.
