Before you rely on this number

This is a reference calculator, not a tax return or an official bill. Rates are cross-checked against three independent sources (below) and last verified 2026-10-18 — motor tax rates are set in the annual Budget and can change. Always confirm the exact figure for your own vehicle on motortax.ie, the official Department of Transport service, before paying.

Sources and verification

Rates last verified 2026-10-18 by Irish Car Market Editorial, cross-checked across 3 independent sources:

Cross-checked across three independent sources (odo.ie motor tax guide, autoza.ie 2026 guide, and a general search synthesis), all agreeing on these NEDC/WLTP/engine-cc figures and that Budget 2026 left rates unchanged. SIMI’s published table quoted lower NEDC C/D/E/F/G rates and was excluded as apparently stale rather than averaged in. Always confirm your own figure on motortax.ie before paying. See why a CO2 band label alone isn't enough to know your rate for the NEDC/WLTP distinction this calculator handles for you.
