Why does the price of horsepower vary depending on the region?

Let’s take a closer look at one of the factors used to calculate the cost of a tax horsepower, and also at what causes this cost to vary from one region to another. Its cost is comprised of five elements: the regional tax, the tax on polluting vehicles, the vocational training tax, the delivery fee, and the processing fee.

As a reminder, every motor vehicle, regardless of its type, is required to have a registration certificate (or vehicle registration document). This essential document serves to prove the vehicle’s authorization to circulate and also to identify it. Containing all the information related to the vehicle, the vehicle registration document acts as a true identity document. Tax horsepower on a vehicle registration document: what exactly are we talking about? And how much does a tax horsepower cost?The tax horsepower is a unit of measurement in tax law used to determine the administrative, fiscal, or theoretical power of an engine (expressed in CV). It differs from “horsepower,” which refers to the actual mechanical power of a vehicle (expressed in hp). Both pieces of information are, of course, found on every vehicle registration certificate:

the tax horsepower in section P.6

and the horsepower in column P.2. Since 1998, a vehicle’s tax horsepower has been calculated using the following formula: PF (for tax horsepower) = (CO2/45) + (P/40) x 1.6. The “CO2” in this formula corresponds to the vehicle’s carbon dioxide emissions (expressed in grams per kilometer), while the “P” refers to the engine’s maximum actual power (expressed in kilowatts). Therefore, the less powerful the engine, the lower its administrative horsepower, and vice versa.

• The Ministry of the Interior has also informed that motorists without the necessary equipment, internet access, or limited computer skills can visit the digital access points available in all prefectures and sub-prefectures. Each of these points is equipped with computers, printers, and scanners, and provides users with mediators who can assist them in completing the required procedures.
