The Romanian car tax is calculated using the following formula:

Impozit Auto = (Engine Size × Fuel Factor × Age Factor) × Tax Rate

Where:

Engine Size is in cubic centimeters (cc)
Fuel Factor is 1.0 for petrol, 1.1 for diesel, and 0.8 for electric vehicles
Age Factor is 1.0 for vehicles under 5 years old, 1.2 for vehicles 5-10 years old, and 1.5 for vehicles over 10 years old
Tax Rate is currently 0.015 (1.5%)

This formula provides an estimate based on Romanian tax regulations. Actual tax amounts may vary depending on specific vehicle characteristics and local regulations.
