Sorry I have just picked my chin up off the floor. OMG
I am just about to put my MK Indyblade on to the road over here in Ireland and the government have recently introduced carbon road tax, so we get
charged based on the CO2 emissions for our vehicles.
So would anyone know the CO2 levels for a CBR100RR fireblade engine? I tried googling it but without success.
mhhh
in holland its the same but when you have a SVA then you fall int he toughest tax tray automaticly because there isn't assigned an EURO leverl to
your car.
over here you need to prove with weight and engine cap. / bhp that it isn't that big.. (the polution)
Tks
Will this be applicable for a kit car over there?? Isnt it just for production cars like over here in the UK?? In the UK it would be cheap road tax as its based on the capacity for kit cars.
Not possible. The measurement is in grammes per kilometer and is dependent on vehicle mass, drivetrain losses, drag coefficient etc etc. It's a very complex procedure to measure accurately involving a chassis dyno and gas collection / weighing equipment.
Thanks guys,
I thought this was going to be a pain in the backside to do. The new tax is for any new cars being registered from today and for production models
the manufacturer publishes the value and they use that and like in Holland if you don't have the figure you are automatically put in the top
bracket which over here is 2K euros a year road tax.
I guess I need to call the dept of transport and see if I can figure it out with them, maybe they have an independant assessment place they will use
to get measurements for non production cars.
Grafter please let us know what info you find out
WTF!!!! 2000 EUROS! They f**kin' have a laugh!!!!

Please do let us know whatever you find out, as we are planning on moving to Ireland and although we will be exempt from paying VRT, I don't know
what we'll do about the Robin Hood for road tax.
We may be alright though - does the low rate for classic cars still apply? I asked the question of the Revenue under the old system and they told me
that although it was first registered in the UK in 99 and the donor was 83, as it is Q and appears on MOT certificates as first used on or about 71,
they would register it as a 71!
