    There is no "road tax".
    What we have is motor tax and the rates can be found on motortax.ie...

    If there was road tax we could expect the Councils to fix them. Or hold them accountable for damages incurred due to their state of disrepair.

    But to answer the question, tax rates are based on the old system of engine size for commercial vehicles privately.

    Under the falsely held I-couldn't-be-bottomed-doing-any-research premise that engine size is directly proportional to emissions and that petrol and diesel are parity toxicity.

    The truth is probably closer to; pay more if you can afford more. Like increasing the price of cigarettes "for the children".


    I'm all about power to weight me. My beater daily can leave cars 20x the market value behind like no man's business.
