They have been taking a leaf out of the Irish book. Vehicle Registration Tax here is 7% for ZEVs up to 41% for juicy cars, that is of the open market selling price, as calculated by the Revenue. With extra Nox ratings, which load diesels even further. That's for cars from the EU. So much for the Single Market*.Of course, there aren't many RHD cars to buy from the EU. If you want to buy one from the UK, there's customs duty and Vat on top of that. As that increases the cost to gigantic levels the main source of affordable s/h cars has been removed, leading to a doubling of used car prices on the Irish market.

The system is certainly screwed in a way that it puts ordinary folks off. Paying more does not mean less pollution.
