Car VRT Calculator Ireland helps importers, dealers, and private car buyers estimate Irish Vehicle Registration Tax for newly registered or imported vehicles. It follows current Revenue guidance using Open Market Selling Price (OMSP), WLTP CO₂ emissions bands, vehicle age/depreciation and fuel type.
Based on official Revenue.ie VRT rates and valuation methods.
For passenger cars (Category A), VRT is a percentage of the Open Market Selling Price (OMSP) that Revenue assigns to the vehicle, adjusted by the WLTP CO₂ band. For used imports, age and depreciation influence the OMSP used. Low-emission vehicles may qualify for reliefs or different treatment.
Scenario: Used 2020 petrol car imported from the UK, WLTP CO₂ = 120 g/km.
Note: Actual rates depend on the official band for your CO₂ value and the OMSP Revenue assigns. EVs/PHEVs may have reliefs.
