Thanks Petermack!
I thought that then the government backdated the option of tax based on emissions to Jan 1st but maybe that's not the case.. I guess I should clarify on a case by case basis when I am considering a car to purchase
Many thanks!

CO2 EMISSION LEVEL RATES FROM 1 JANUARY 2009
The attached document sets out the rates of motor tax for brand new vehicles registered in this country after 1 July 2008. Vehicles registered before 1 January 2008, including imports first registered abroad prior to 1 January 2008, will continue to pay motor tax on the basis of engine size (cc rates are shown in previous link).
If it was registered in the first 6 months it was based on engine size but if the emissions resulted in the motor tax being cheaper, the motor tax was moved to emissions based on renewal.
Hi Everyone,
I am hoping to buy a used car in the New Year, my budget is max. €8,000 and I want a fairly small car 1.3-1.5L engine so I will probably be looking at a 2008 reg at best. I think this is the case but just want to confirm - if I buy a used 2008 car will I have the option of paying tax based on emissions?
Thanks for your help!
