Which emissions rating for tax on this Merc?
If I buy in December a 2016 Mercedes E-Class with 94g/km CO2 emissions and 55mg/km NOx does it mean Revenue will uplift my CO2 to 120g/km but NOx stays as it is? And does it mean that my tax per year will be based on 94- or 120g/km?
Regards

Will I pay VAT on a 2016 import?
Hello,
I am buying a 2016 Mercedes E-Class with 55mg/km NOx in December, which is already in Ireland; will I have to pay VAT? Or only VRT and NOx levy?

How to calculate VRT on this 201 Tiguan?
Hi Shane,
I’m completely confused by the new VRT changes! If I was to look at import of a 201 used car, will VRT be calculated off the WLTP figures, or CO2. Also, will motor tax be based off the WLTP or CO2 figures. I ask in the context of a 1.5 TSI DSG Tiguan with these specs: CO2 133g/km, WLTP CO2 168g/km.
Thanks in advance,
Dan

Will older cars benefit from 2021 tax changes?
My understanding was that cars registered in the past couple of years had their emissions tested under the new WLTP system. Let's say a car registered in 2019 would be taxed at a higher rate than the exact same make that was registered in 2016. Will the cars registered in 2019 or 2020 benefit from the motor tax changes in the recent budget?
Thanks,
Noel

What tax rate applies to an imported car?
The tax on cars registered after Jan 2021 is €420 per annum for 161-170g/km. So is this the rate that applies if I import a 2016 from the UK in 2021?
