Car tax and ULEZ for a 2017 car
A car first registered in the UK in 2017 was issued a 66 (January–February), 17 (March–August) or 67 (September–December) plate, unless it was registered in Northern Ireland (no age identifier) or has since moved to a private plate. An imported one is plated when first registered here, so its plate can be newer than its first-use year. 17 plates
A 2017 car is taxed by CO2 band if first registered before 1 April 2017, otherwise at the standard rate after the first year. If its list price was over £40,000 a car registered from 1 April 2017 pays the expensive car supplement in years 2 to 6 (to 2023), which has ended. [2] Car tax calculator for a 2017 car
For the London ULEZ, a 2017 petrol usually meets Euro 4, and a 2017 diesel usually meets Euro 6. The Euro standard of the car decides, not the year alone. Hybrids follow the rule for their petrol or diesel engine. [3] ULEZ checker
