How much is road tax on a Lexus Ct?

Road tax on a used Lexus Ct depends on when it was first registered: cars from 1 April 2017 pay the flat standard rate of £200 a year, while earlier cars pay a CO₂-based band. Electric Cts now pay road tax too (the zero-emission exemption ended on 1 April 2025) — the same £200 standard rate. Figures are for the 2026/27 UK tax year.

There are currently 3 used Lexus CT models available for sale on Motoring Today, ranging from 2012 to 2016 model years. When purchasing any used car in the UK, understanding its Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), commonly known as road tax, is an important consideration. For the Lexus CT, like all used vehicles, the amount of VED payable is determined by its first-registration date and, crucially, its CO2 emissions and fuel type. UK road tax rules have undergone significant changes, meaning older Lexus CT models will be taxed differently from those registered more recently. Cars first registered before 1 April 2017 are taxed purely on their CO2 emissions, falling into specific VED bands. For these vehicles, the higher the CO2 output, the higher the annual tax. In contrast, cars registered from 1 April 2017 onwards use a different system: a first-year rate based on CO2, followed by a standard flat rate for subsequent years. A further surcharge applies to cars with an original list price exceeding £40,000 for five years from the second year of registration. It's also worth noting the evolving landscape for fully electric vehicles, which have historically been exempt from VED but will begin to incur charges from April 2025. Because the exact VED figure for a used Lexus CT depends entirely on its specific first-registration date, engine, and emissions, we cannot provide a single value here. Please consult the individual car's details on its Motoring Today listing to confirm the precise VED amount.

Frequently asked questions

How much is road tax on a Lexus Ct?
A Lexus Ct registered on or after 1 April 2017 pays the flat standard rate of £200 a year for 2026/27. Cars registered between March 2001 and March 2017 pay a CO₂-based band instead. If the car cost over £40,000 new, add the £440/yr expensive-car supplement in years 2–6.
Do electric Lexus Cts pay road tax?
Yes — since 1 April 2025 zero-emission cars pay VED. A new electric car pays £10 in its first year, then the £200 standard rate; electric cars registered before April 2025 also pay £200. Electric cars registered before March 2017 pay £20.
What is the expensive-car (£40,000) supplement?
Cars with a list price over £40,000 when new pay an extra £440 a year on top of the standard rate for five years, starting from the second licence (years 2–6). For zero-emission cars registered from 1 April 2025 the threshold is £50,000. It is based on the list price when new, not the price you pay used.
How is road tax calculated for the Lexus Ct?
For cars registered from April 2017, VED is a first-year "showroom" rate based on CO₂ emissions, then the flat £200 standard rate every year after. Older cars (2001–2017) stay on the CO₂ band system (bands A–M). You can check the exact rate for any specific car by its registration on the DVLA vehicle-tax service.
