Currently in Ireland we have 2 bands, emissions or CC ; Older cars registered before July 2008 will continue to be have motor tax based on the size of their engine - the bigger the engine cc - the higher the tax.NEWLY registered cars in Ireland are now taxed based on their CO2 emissions instead of engine size
Supra Current Rate
Engine Size Annual Car Tax in € Euro
2,901 to 3,000 1,293
Emissions
Band G: cars that produce 226g/km CO2 and over - €2,100 road tax
Based on how seriously screwed Ireland is, we have a high probability the CC tax will be abolished in the Decemeber Budget and just emissions will be how they measuer tax; this will increase the Road tax a further 807 euro
If this happens I am selling up, cannot justify 2100 annual road tax never mind 1300 as it is. I presume most are of the same opinon plus dont forget the introduction of additional nationwide tolls getting rolled out
