Calculating Your Tax Amount. Local car tax bills are a function of the tax rate times each $100 of assessed value. In other words, take the value of the car as assessed by DTA, divide by 100, and multiply the result by the tax rate (which is $4.57 for most vehicles). For personal use vehicles, a substantial part of this bill is then subsidized by the stateâs Car Tax Relief program.
