New Car Tax in Estonia 2025: What You Need to Know and How AllCars Helps You Avoid Extra Costs

As of January 1, 2025, a new car tax has come into effect in Estonia, impacting all vehicle owners. The tax consists of two parts – a registration fee and an annual tax. It has already raised many questions among drivers, especially those planning to buy or sell a car. But here’s the good news: if you sell your car to AllCars, we cover all registration fees and ownership transfer costs. Let us explain how it works.

What Does the New Car Tax Include?

The tax consists of two main components:

  1. Registration Fee:
    This is a one-time payment required when registering a car for the first time or transferring ownership. The amount depends on the following factors:
    • CO₂ emissions: The higher the emissions, the higher the tax amount.
    • Vehicle weight: Heavier vehicles are subject to higher taxes.
    • Vehicle age: Newer cars are taxed more heavily, while older cars have reduced fees.
    For vehicles with high CO₂ emissions, the registration fee can reach up to €10,000, making such cars significantly more expensive to purchase.
  2. Annual Tax:
    This is a recurring payment calculated based on CO₂ emissions, vehicle weight, and age. It is paid in two installments: by June 15 and December 15.
