Passenger Vehicle Excise Tax Fees

The excise tax amount is based on the vehicle class and age. The age of a vehicle is  determined by subtracting the model year from the calendar year that the vehicle is due to be registered. The class of a vehicle is based on the vehicle value as determined by the manufacturer’s original retail price.
