With 3 Audi Q2s currently for sale on Motoring Today, understanding the Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), commonly known as road tax, for a used model is an important consideration. VED liability in the UK depends primarily on when a car was first registered, along with its CO2 emissions and fuel type. For Audi Q2s registered before 1 April 2017, VED is calculated based on CO2 emissions, with different bands incurring varying annual costs. However, for models registered from 1 April 2017 onwards, including those from the 2018-2022 year span available, a different system applies. These cars face a first-year rate determined by their CO2 emissions, followed by a standard flat-rate fee for subsequent years. Additionally, cars with a list price exceeding £40,000 when new are subject to an annual ‘premium car’ surcharge for five years, from the second year of registration. It's also worth noting that while fully electric vehicles have historically been exempt from VED, this exemption is changing. To ascertain the precise VED for any individual Audi Q2, always consult the car's specific details on the DVLA website using its registration number.

What is the expensive-car (£40,000) supplement?
