- Motor Tax in the Republic of Ireland
Motor Taxation or Motor Tax is an annual duty payable on motor vehicles (subject to exemptions) in the Republic of Ireland. Motor tax rates are assesed on engine capacity for private cars. A new system for new and imported cars was introduced in July 2008 where the tax rates will be based on the CO2 emissions of the car instead of engine size.For goods vehicles, commercial vehicles and PSVs it is based on weight or is a standardised fee. There are a number of exempt vehicles:
*State-owned vehicles (notably, these still carry tax discs, with a rate of €0.00 printed on them).
*Diplomatic vehicles.
*Vehicles exempted under the Disabled Drivers and Disabled Passengers (Tax Concessions) Regulations, 1994 (S.I. No. 353 of 1994).
