Motor tax

Hello there,

I'm just testing the water here but I have a 2009 vw Jetta (Petrol engine/manual). I'm paying €223 every three months in road tax and feel this is overcharging. Anyone in a similar position?

I had a 2ltr diesel and was paying €953 a year on tax.

Spent €27k on a new car and now pay €190 tax.

Go figure.

What you feel is kind of irrelevant! The rates are the rates.

Pay for 12 months up front and it's a bit cheaper.

This is common knowledge. I was paying €200 every three months on a 2 litre car on the old CC system. I actually was paying that for two different cars over the years. A BMW and a Subaru. I then got performance 1.6 litre Jap cars cars a Levin and a Mivec and I think I was paying €145 every three months on those cars. I then bought a brand new car in 2021 and I now pay €190 a year on car tax.

Just reading through post it seems they were my only cars they were not I tonnes of different cars over the 21 years I have been driving.
