Where to get official CO2 figures

Where can I find official CO2 figures that road tax rates are based on? I've found various reputable websites like Parker's, What Car etc but there seems to be variations in figures for same car.

I'm looking at importing something, so can't always find a similar model on Done deal etc.

For example a 2012 Audi A7 3.0 tfsi, Parker's give a CO2 figure of 190g/km so around €790 per year. But a dealer in Dublin has a few for sale and lists road tax as €1200 per year. Google Searches have given me 3 or 4 different numbers so far.

Who does the government use and where can I find it?

Thank you 👍

The registration documents, V5 or VLC, are what they base it off.

I'm looking at potential purchases though so don't have any documents. I'm wondering if there's an official source. I've been to manufacturers websites but couldn't find anything.

Thanks

It can very depending on what options and wheels are fitted to the car, so there's no central database as it varies car to car.

Only way I know of to get that info without the the V5C/VLC, is the likes of a cartell report, but it's only on the paid reports rather than the free report.
