Motor tax for private cars is calculated on the basis of CO 2 emissions or engine capacity, depending on the date of first registration of the car. There is no provision for adjustment of motor tax on the basis of personal circumstances. Specific personal needs are addressed through other codes, as appropriate, such as under the health services or social protection. I am not in a position to comment on potential increases in motor tax ahead of the Budget to be delivered today.
