Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 1 April 2015
167. Deputy Derek Nolan asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will clarify the correct motor tax amount for a vehicle registered after 2008 (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13536/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraPrivate vehicles registered after 1 July 2008 are taxed on the basis of CO2 emissions. Private vehicles registered between January and June 2008 are taxed either on the basis of engine size or CO2 emissions, depending on which basis carried the lowest tax for the vehicle at the time. In this instance, I understand that the correct basis of taxation is on CO2 emissions.
