Why do I pay €385 on tax for my Peugeot?

Good morning,

Just wondering why I pay €385 a year for my 2006 Peugeot diesel 1.4 that was registered in the Republic about six years ago? CO₂ emissions are 120g/km. So according to your chart it should be €200.

Thanks in advance!

Regards, Kinga

Hi Kinga,

Though you imported the car only six years ago, it was first registered in 2006, so its taxation is based on its engine capacity for pre-2008 cars.
