Assuming your vehicle was registered before 1st April 2017 the VED rate is calculated by its CO2 emissions. For the Skoda Citgo GreenTech the emissions are 98g/km, which in previous years meant a zero rate of VED. The new rates of VED apply from 1st April 2026 and vehicles under 100g/km will now have to pay £20 per year. You can read more about 2026 VED rates here - www.honestjohn.co.uk/car-tax
