Calculated NOx Charge
What is NOx Charge?
NOx Tax is a type of emission which people of Ireland need to pay when their vehicle produced nitrogen oxide (NOx). This is very harmful for the environment and it causes air pollution and respiratory issues. In Ireland, NOx charges are introduced when people pay Vehicle Registration Tax to promote safe and cleaner vehicles. It means if you motor is producing more NOx emissions as compare to others you will pay more tax.
The purpose to take this Tax from Irish people is to save the environment and encourages people to buy cars with which produce less nitrogen oxide. It also promoting the Electric Vehicles market because there is such tax on Electric Vehicles.

They follow simple rule higher the NOx level, the higher the tax.
This change:
- Promotes cleaner car choices (hybrid, electric, lower-emission petrol vehicles).
- People stop buying older and more polluting cars.
- Also helps to improve public health and environmental quality.
NOx Tax Rates (Official Tiered Structure)
The NOx tax is calculated using the following tiered rate system:
- On First 60 mg/km you will pay €5 per mg.

- If your Vehicle produce above 80 mg/km then you will pay €25 per mg.
