How VRT is Calculated in Ireland
Vehicle Registration Tax (VRT) in Ireland is calculated based on several factors depending on your vehicle category. Our calculator implements the exact formulas used by Revenue.ie to ensure accuracy.
Category A Vehicles (Passenger Cars)
For passenger cars, SUVs, and minibuses with up to 8 passengers, VRT is calculated using:
- Open Market Selling Price (OMSP): The price the vehicle would sell for in Ireland
- CO2 Emissions: Determines the percentage rate (7% to 41% of OMSP)
- NOx Levy: Additional charge based on nitrogen oxide emissions (€0 to €10)
Category B Vehicles (Commercial Vehicles)
For vans and light commercial vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes:
- Standard Rate: 8% for vehicles with CO2 ≤120g/km, 13.3% for higher emissions
- Special N1 Vans: Fixed €200 charge for qualifying vehicles
Other Categories
- Category C: Fixed €200 charge for heavy vehicles, buses, tractors, and vintage cars
- Category M: Motorcycles charged based on engine capacity with age reductions
