How much will pollution tax be worth as of January 1st?

The most economical new cars will be subject to a pollution tax of 50 euros as of January 1st, with its value growing to nearly 1,900 euros for over 4.0-litre engine cars, such as is the case of the Audi A8 and Mercedes-Benz S-Klasse saloon cars.
The lowest pollution tax for a car among the top-sellers on the Romanian market starts from around 70 euros, according to data from the Environment Ministry and is aimed at 1.2-litre engines that power models such as Dacia Logan, Volkswagen Polo and Renault Symbol. As far as the best-selling imported cars are concerned, the biggest taxes are those levied on models with 1.6-litre engine, such as Ford Focus and Skoda Octavia, with the tax climbing to nearly 330 euros in some cases.
The payment procedure will remain the same, according to officials of the National Fiscal Administration Agency (ANAF). They said the new tax calculator will become available on the ANAF website in the first part of this week, with Fiscal Administration offices already collecting money for the new pollution tax.
As of January 1st, only cars with engines that meet Euro 5 emission standards or above can be sold on the European market, with Euro 4 ones being available for sale only second-hand and only if registered before January 31st.
