I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the Vehicle Registration Tax collected per VRT band for 2007, 2008 and for the period January to October 2009 is shown in the attached table. In the case of Category A vehicles/cars, for the period from 1 January 2007 until 30 June 2008 the information relates to bands based on engine size, while the information since 1 July 2008 relates to CO2 emission bands. The amounts shown for VRT in 2009 are provisional.
