Private vehicles registered after 1 July 2008 are taxed on the basis of CO₂emissions. Private vehicles registered between January and June 2008 are taxed either on the basis of engine size or CO₂emissions, depending on which basis carried the lowest tax for the vehicle at the time. In this instance, I understand that the correct basis of taxation is on CO₂emissions.
