don't live over here in Ireland.
You would definitely have something to complain about then.

Looking at the scale for pre-2008 cars I think €710 (about £600ish Sterling), would that be right @Titan ?
Bang on Ed,its on the old pre 2008 registered CC (Engine Size) payment.
So €710/year.
Also a peculiarity of the whole system,is if you only tax a car for 3 or 6 months at a time for example,you will pay more if you do it that way for 12 months.
I used to barely believe it when relations visited from the UK and they were paying something like £200/300 (if even that) to tax something that was €1800 here.
Once a car hits 30 years old though,you only pay €56/year for road tax (small consolation...)
So if anyone is thinking of moving over with their F40 or McLaren F1....come on ahead,you'll save a fortune!!
Generally speaking,certainly before electric cars started coming out anyway,it was a lot more expensive to buy cars here as well.
If it didn't rain so much here,we would be like Cuba,with their closed off car eco system
Because electric cars are classed with zero emissions,their rate is €170/year or something.
So you can have a Taycan Turbo SS and pay a fraction, of say one of the latest AMG Mercedes cars (€2400/year)
So be thankful, if you are a petrol head,that you are living where you are.
So €710/year.
