Hi Aileen,

Motor tax for cars only goes by the engine size if it was registered before 2008. If the 1.6 you’re talking about is older than that then the annual motor tax should be €514 (assuming the engine size is 1,501-1,600cc).

If the car is newer, then its tax goes by its CO2 emissions. We’d need to know full details of the car before we could look that up for you, as the engine size and type alone aren’t sufficient.
