Revenue Ireland OMSP & WLTP rates
\text{VRT} = (\text{OMSP} \times \text{WLTP CO2 Rate}\%) - \text{EV Relief} \\
\text{NOx Levy} = \min\Big(\text{Cap}, \ (\le 40 \times €5) + (41\text{--}80 \times €15) + (>80 \times €25)\Big) \\
\text{GB Imports: Duty} = 10\% \times (Price + Freight) \\
\text{GB Imports: VAT} = 23\% \times (Price + Freight + Duty)In Ireland, VRT is assessed on the Open Market Selling Price (OMSP), not the invoice price. Cars are taxed across 20 WLTP CO2 bands ranging from 7% (EV) to 41% (>190g/km). A separate NOx levy applies up to a cap of €4,850 for diesel or €600 for petrol. Imports from Great Britain (post-Brexit) also attract 10% customs duty and 23% Irish import VAT.

OMSP (Open Market Selling Price) is Revenue's valuation of the vehicle's retail market value in Ireland. Regardless of how cheaply you bought the car abroad, Revenue calculates VRT against the official Irish domestic market benchmark.
Northern Ireland remains within the EU VAT territory for goods. Cars genuinely registered and used privately in Northern Ireland are exempt from 10% Customs Duty and 23% Import VAT (only VRT and NOx apply). Imports from Great Britain (England/Scotland/Wales) attract full 10% customs duty + 23% VAT before VRT.
Zero-emission EVs are taxed at the lowest 7% CO2 band and €0 NOx levy. An EV VRT rebate of up to €5,000 applies to vehicles with an OMSP up to €40,000, tapering linearly to €0 for vehicles valued at €50,000 or above.
The statutory NOx levy is capped at €4,850 for diesel passenger cars and €600 for petrol and hybrid vehicles. Pure battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are completely exempt (€0).
