I propose to take Questions Nos. 228 and 229 together.
In relation to Dail Question No. 228 (Ref: 24123/23), I am advised by Revenue that a breakdown of new car sales based on car body type in each VRT band for 2020, 2021, 2022 and to the end of March 2023 is provided in the table below. To protect taxpayer confidentiality and adhere to Revenue’s statistical disclosure protocol, values of less than 10 observations are presented as “<10”.

*Prior to 2021 a different CO2 emissions reference system was in place and therefore the figures and bands are not directly comparable with later years.
In relation to Question Dail Question No. 229 (Ref: 24124/23), I am advised by Revenue that the average emissions from category A vehicle registered (new and used) in 2020, 2021, 2022 and to the end of March 2023 and the VRT band associated with these averages are provided in the table below. These figures include Hybrid & Plug-in Hybrid electric vehicles that also have an internal combustion engine while purely battery powered vehicles are excluded.

*Prior to 2021 a different CO2 emissions reference system was in place and therefore the figures and bands are not directly comparable with later years. In 2021, the CO2 reference for calculating VRT switched from the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) emissions test to the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), which is a more realistic test and therefore produces higher CO2 ratings on average.
Question No. 229 answered with Question No. 228.
