Motor Tax amounts in Ireland have not been changed for a few years – but in Budget 2021 there were some adjustments to motor tax on some cars.

There were no changes to motor tax rates in 2021 for cars that are taxed based on engine size (pre July 2008).

But there is a new set of motor tax rates for WLTP cars registered in Ireland the after 01/01/21.

(The WLTP – Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test measures fuel consumption and CO2 emissions and pollutant emissions.)

Some small changes to rates have also been made for cars taxed on CO2 emissions that were NEDC tested .(cars first registered in Ireland between July 2008 and the end 2020).

(NEDC – (New European Driving Cycle) was a European method for assessing a car’s fuel economy and emissions.)
