The calculation of the excise duty for vehicles
For example:
A used
petrol sedan vehicle is 9 months old at the time of its transfer to
Cyprus from the United Kingdom and it has a mileage of 22.500 km. The
cubic capacity of its engine is 1.789 CC and the carbon dioxide
emissions are 184 gr/km.
The excise duty
payable is initially calculated on the basis of a new vehicle and is
thereafter depreciated based on the characteristics of the used vehicle:
- Initial excise duty (based on a new car with CO2 emissions of 180 gr/km): €2.250 + (4 x €400) = €3.850
- Excise duty differentiations for the used car of the example:
- 18.50% reduction on the initial excise duty because of the vehicle age (9 months) and type (sedan): €3.850 x 18,50% = €712
- 4,5% reduction
on the remaining amount (€3.850 – €712 = €3.138) because of kilometers
travelled over the corresponding estimated average for a petrol vehicle
((22.500–(15.000/12*9) = 22.500 – 11.250 = 11.250 km, 11.250/500 x 0.20%
= 4.5%): €3.138 x 4,5% = €141
- Additional excise duty €0.02/c.c.: 1789 Χ €0.02 = €36
- Total excise duty payable: €3.850 – €712 – €141 + €36 = €3.033
