Same vehicle in the cheapest region (Mayotte): €193.76, €180 less. What counts is the region where you live.

The application itself is free on the official ANTS website: you only pay the taxes.

How the amount is calculated

Normandy charges €60 per fiscal horsepower, the “cheval fiscal” that drives the regional tax on a French registration certificate (“carte grise”). That is the most French law lets a region charge, so the rate cannot rise further, and no change has been announced for 2027. The State’s official simulator confirms the amount on 20 October 2026. It is said to have applied since 1 January 2025, but that date has not been checked against a regional resolution, which could not be found. Normandy shares second place nationally with 6 other areas, behind only Île-de-France, where a transport surcharge comes on top. A 5 CV car under ten years old pays €300 in regional tax and €313.76 for the full certificate. From ten years of age, and for any motorbike, the rate is halved. Electric cars get no discount in Normandy and pay the same as petrol cars.

A rate at its ceiling

The French tax code caps the regional rate at €60 per CV, and Normandy has reached it. The official fiscal horsepower price simulator shows this amount on 20 October 2026. The start date of 1 January 2025 comes from secondary sources and has not been matched to a regional resolution. Earlier Normandy rates are not given here for the same reason.

The full certificate adds €11 of fixed tax (line Y4) and €2.76 for posting the document (line Y5). Age is read from box B: the very first registration counts, even outside France.

Normandy and its neighbours

Regional tax on a 6 CV car under ten years old, for Normandy and the regions around it, from highest rate to lowest.

Rates on 20 October 2026, Paris surcharge included.
Region€ per CVRegional tax, 6 CV
Île-de-France€68.95€413.70
Brittany€60€360
Centre-Val de Loire€60€360
Normandy€60€360
Pays de la Loire€51€306
Hauts-de-France€43€258

This only matters if you move: the rate follows the new keeper’s home, not the place of sale. Someone living in Caen who buys from a Paris dealer pays the Normandy rate; a Parisian buying in Évreux pays the Île-de-France rate. For a company, the branch the vehicle is assigned to decides.

Electric cars, motorbikes, mopeds

  • Electric or hydrogen car: full rate, as no regional reduction has been voted (service-public.gouv.fr news item).
  • Motorbike: half rate at any age, €120 for 4 CV.
  • 50 cc moped: no regional tax, only the national charges.

Applications go through the ANTS website at no handling cost. For a private sale, the used car transfer page lists the documents you need.

Frequently asked questions

I am relocating from Paris to Normandy: will registering a car cost less?

Yes, for a car you buy once you have moved. Normandy charges €60 per CV against €68.95 in Paris in 2026, a saving of €8.95 per CV. A car you already own needs only an address update on the ANTS website, the national registration service, and that triggers no regional tax.

Will the gap between Normandy and Paris shrink in 2027?

It should. The Paris-region transport surcharge drops to €12 per CV from 1 January 2027, unless the transport authority votes otherwise. The difference with Normandy would then be €6.95 per CV. Normandy itself is already at the cap and cannot go up, so any change comes from the Paris side.

Do electric cars pay the regional tax in Normandy?

Yes, at the full rate. French law lets regions halve or scrap the tax for electric and hydrogen vehicles, and Normandy has not done so. A 7 CV electric car under ten years old pays €420, the same as a petrol car of equal rating. It still avoids the national CO₂ and weight malus when new.

How reliable is the Normandy figure used here?

The amount comes from the State’s official fiscal horsepower simulator, checked on 20 October 2026. The regional resolution itself was not found online, and a regional advisory council opinion on the 2026 budget could not be opened. The amount is therefore solid, while the start date shown should be treated as unconfirmed until the region publishes it.
