Motor Tax
The existing CO2-based table for cars is being amended with higher rates for the most polluting cars.
NEDC-tested cars registered outside the State in the period from July 2008 to 2020 inclusive, but registered in the State on or after 2021, will be subject to the existing CO2-based table.
For used imports which were subject to the WLTP test, the new WLTP table will apply.
If the car was registered in the UK between July 2008 to 2020, and has an NEDC CO2 value, the road tax will be based on the table below.
