How much to tax my Australian Mitsubishi ASX?
How much tax will I pay for a Mitsubishi ASX 2.0-litre petrol automatic which I brought back with me from Australia where I lived for 13 years? The car is 2017 and I owned it since 2019. Has passed the NCT.

Hi Ciara,
We need the CO2 rating to determine the motor tax.
According to our data, that car's original CO2 rating would have been 176g/km, but that was on the old "NEDC" system and when a car is imported into Ireland now its CO2 figure is 'uplifted' by Revenue to align it with the newer WLTP scheme. Doing that would raise your ASX's rating to 197g/km, which would mean motor tax of €790 each year.
The importation paperwork should have shown which CO2 rating the car now has according to Revenue so you can check it. If it's not the above figure, look up the motor tax on our Motor Road Tax Prices in Ireland Explained feature or come back to us if you have other questions.
