How circulation licence in Malta is calculated

Malta's recurring car charge is the annual circulation licence, based on CO2 emissions plus the car's age and fuel type (a diesel particulate component applies).

The licence rises with emissions and age from a floor around 100 EUR. The calculator uses a CO2 table. Estimate, not tax advice.

Every computed row comes from the engine, run on the inputs above. Rows marked ✓ pinned are also fixed by a published self-test, so a change to the model that moved them would fail its own tests.

Sources

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.
