Road tax: the cheapest and most expensive cities

Of the 61 cities we have, in Santa Cruz de Tenerife: 34,08 € a year for a car of 8 to 11.99 fiscal horsepower. Followed by Jaén (51,12 €) and Badajoz (53,61 €).

In Donostia-San Sebastián: 89,25 € a year for a car of 8 to 11.99 fiscal horsepower, 2,6 times what you pay in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

34,08 € a year for 8 to 11.99 fiscal horsepower (art. 95 of the Local Finance Act). Each council may multiply it by up to 2, and 20 of the 57 common-regime cities we have charge that maximum. The Basque Country and Navarre have their own foral rules.

Yes, but almost every council gives them a discount: up to 75% in common-regime cities and more in some foral ones. Of the 61 cities we have, 6 give no discount to electric cars. Many discounts must be applied for or only last a few years.

We only list the cities whose tax bylaw we have read. For the rest of the 8,132 municipalities our calculators use the legal minimum, which is the least a council can charge.
