road tax
Driver's annual charge
Road tax is a fee levied on vehicles for using public roads, typically paid annually to register a vehicle.
The term is common in British English; Americans more often say vehicle registration fee or car tax.
I need to renew my road tax before the end of the month.
The tax historically funded road maintenance, though revenues now often go to general funds.
