Hi Yasmin,

First up, it's very difficult to predict how much VRT will be due, as it all depends on the Open Market Selling Price (OMSP) that Revenue places on any given car. That's not easy to guess. For the sake of the calculation, however, let's assume it says your car's OMSP is €9,000. Next we need the CO2 rating. I believe that car's was 119g/km - though that can vary depending on the specific model. 

Unfortunately, Revenue 'uplifts' the CO2 rating on imports, converting the NEDC figure to the newer WLTP one. The uplifted figure in this case would be 148g/km, meaning VRT of 25 per cent. That's calculated from the OMSP above, so with that at €9,000, the VRT would be €2,250.
