In general, all new motor vehicles and vehicles brought into Ireland are subject to Vehicle Registration Tax (VRT) and must be registered with the Revenue Commissioners.

Vehicle Registration Tax (VRT) is based on the Open Market Selling Price (OMSP) of the vehicle. The OMSP depends on factors such as the market value, Co2 emissions, mileage, spec and year of the vehicle.

You can find a vehicles Co2 figure from the UK V5 registration document.
