Andorra Car Tax Calculator 2026

Andorra applies IGI (Impost General Indirect, similar to VAT) at just 4.5% on all goods and services, including vehicles. This is one of the lowest rates in Europe, making Andorra an attractive market for vehicle purchases compared to neighbouring France (20% VAT) or Spain (21% VAT).

The vehicle registration tax (Impost sobre Vehicles) in Andorra is calculated based on the vehicle's fiscal horsepower (cavalls fiscals), which is derived from the engine power rating. The registration tax is progressive, with higher-powered vehicles attracting higher registration fees.

The IGI rate of 4.5% applies uniformly to all vehicle purchases in Andorra, whether from a dealer or private seller. This low rate makes Andorra one of the most tax-efficient markets in Europe for vehicle purchases.

Annual road charge (Taxa de Circulació) in Andorra is levied on vehicle owners each year, with rates based on the vehicle's fiscal horsepower and environmental classification. Rates range from approximately €40 annually for small engine motorcycles to over €300 for large luxury SUVs with high horsepower ratings.

As a small country with no vehicle manufacturing, Andorra imports virtually all vehicles, primarily from France and Spain. Since Andorra is not an EU member state but is part of a customs union with the EU, the import process involves customs declarations through Spanish or French customs points.

The fiscal horsepower system used in Andorra is based on a formula that considers engine power output, and this must be certified through the homologation process when registering an imported vehicle. Importers must obtain an Andorran type approval or a certificate of conformity from an EU member state before the vehicle can be registered in Andorra.

Vehicle registration in Andorra is processed through the Cops (Servei d'Tràmits i Registres), with required documentation including proof of purchase, IGI payment receipt, EU certificate of conformity or Andorran type approval, valid technical inspection certificate, Andorran residence certificate, and identification documents. The registration certificate (Targeta de Circulació) must be obtained before the vehicle can be driven legally.

Technical inspection (Inspecció Tècnica de Vehicles) is required every two years for vehicles under 10 years old, and annually for older vehicles. Inspection centres are located in Andorra la Vella and Escaldes-Engordany.

Thanks to the 4.5% IGI rate, Andorra offers a tax advantage of approximately 15–16% compared to buying the same vehicle in France or Spain, where VAT at 20–21% applies. For a vehicle priced at €30,000, this difference represents a saving of over €4,500 in IGI alone.

When budgeting, add the registration tax based on fiscal horsepower (typically €200–€1,500 depending on vehicle power), plus the annual road charge. For a €30,000 vehicle with 150 fiscal horsepower, the total IGI and registration tax could reach €1,850, compared to over €6,000 in France for the same vehicle.

With IGI at just 4.5% and a fiscal horsepower-based registration system, Andorra's vehicle tax environment is genuinely different from any other country.
