Carbon dioxide emissions (CO₂) are the basis of taxation for Category A or Category M vehicles only (i.e. passenger vehicles) for vehicles registered since 2008. This has been the position since the introduction of the CO₂system. Private vehicles in other categories are taxed on the basis of engine capacity.
