- 01Irish VRT for passenger cars is calculated as a CO2 percentage of the vehicle's Open Market Selling Price set by Revenue, plus a NOx levy.
- 02The OMSP is Revenue's own valuation of the vehicle in the Irish market and can differ from the invoice or purchase price.
- 03The NOx charge is a component of VRT for Category A cars except fully electric vehicles.
- 04This is an unofficial browser tool for pre-registration budgeting; the official calculation is performed by Revenue.
Why Estimate VRT Before Importing to Ireland
Vehicle Registration Tax is payable whenever a vehicle is first registered in Ireland, whether bought domestically or imported from the UK, EU, or elsewhere. The amount is based on Revenue's Open Market Selling Price for the vehicle in Ireland — not necessarily the price you paid — which means a car that looks like a bargain in the UK can still carry a significant VRT bill on registration.
Estimating VRT before completing a purchase or import gives you the full picture. The calculation combines a CO2 percentage band applied to the OMSP with a NOx levy based on measured emissions. Handytool's calculator handles both components so you can budget accurately before committing.
How to Use the Ireland VRT Calculator
The calculation runs instantly in your browser.
- 01
Enter the OMSP
Use Revenue's published OMSP for the vehicle, or enter an estimate for an initial scenario. Note that Revenue's OMSP may differ from the invoice price.
- 02
Enter WLTP CO2 emissions
Find the WLTP CO2 figure in g/km from the vehicle's certificate of conformity or manufacturer spec sheet.
- 03
Enter NOx emissions
Add the measured NOx in mg/km from the vehicle documentation, or leave blank to see the effect of the default NOx charge.
- 04
Read the estimate
The calculator shows the CO2 charge, NOx levy, and total VRT estimate. Use this for pre-purchase budgeting, then verify with Revenue's official process.
What You Need to Run the Estimate
- 01Revenue's OMSP for the vehicle (or an estimated market value for planning)
- 02WLTP CO2 figure in g/km from the certificate of conformity
- 03NOx emissions in mg/km from the vehicle documentation
- 04Fuel type (affects minimum VRT and NOx levy applicability)
Browser-Only, No Data Stored
Handytool's VRT calculator runs entirely on your device. No OMSP values, CO2 figures, or vehicle details are uploaded or retained.
This is an unofficial planning tool. The official VRT amount is determined by Revenue at registration. Always use the Revenue VRT enquiry system or consult a motor agent for the definitive figure before purchasing.
Ireland VRT Calculator FAQ
How is Ireland VRT calculated?
For Category A passenger cars, Revenue applies a CO2 percentage band to the Open Market Selling Price and then adds the NOx charge. The final OMSP is set by Revenue, not by the buyer.
What is OMSP for VRT purposes?
OMSP is Revenue's Open Market Selling Price — their valuation of what that specific vehicle would sell for in the Irish market. It can differ from the invoice or auction price.
Does VRT include the NOx levy?
Yes. The NOx charge is a component of VRT for Category A cars. Fully electric vehicles are exempt from the NOx levy.
Can I use the UK purchase price instead of OMSP?
You can use it for a rough scenario, but the official calculation always uses Revenue's OMSP.
Is this an official Revenue VRT calculator?
No. It is an unofficial browser-only estimate for budgeting. Use Revenue's official VRT enquiry system for the definitive amount.
