How Ekspluatācijas nodoklis (vehicle operation tax) in Latvia is calculated
Latvia's annual vehicle operation tax (ekspluatacijas nodoklis) for cars registered from 2021 is keyed to CO2 emissions measured under WLTP, in bands.
Older cars use a combined weight, engine-size and power formula instead. The calculator uses the CO2 table for the newer regime. Illustrative rates. Estimate, not tax advice.

Estimate. Not tax advice. The rates in this calculator are illustrative: they reproduce the shape of the charge through 2 self-test cases, but they are not the official schedule, so the amount shown will not match your bill. Use the official source above for that.
Check the arithmetic yourself: how this calculator is verified — the formula behind every derived value, the 2 test cases the engine reproduces, and what the badge does and does not claim. Also available as machine-readable JSON.
