car tax
Automobile ownership fee
Car tax is a government levy on vehicle ownership or use.
In the UK, it refers specifically to the annual vehicle excise duty required to legally drive on public roads: I need to renew my car tax before the end of the month.
Elsewhere, car tax may cover registration fees, sales tax on vehicle purchases, or road usage charges.
