Audi VRT depends heavily on spec and trim. S-Line models have higher Open Market Selling Prices (OMSP) and often larger wheels, which can push CO₂ emissions into higher tax bands. Audi e-tron models enjoy 7% VRT and are often exempt up to €40k. Popular Diesel models like the A4 and A6 attract both VRT and NOx levies.
| Vehicle Type | Example Model | OMSP | Est. VRT |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electric | Audi Q4 e-tron | €52,000 | €0 - €1,200 (Relief Capped) |
| Diesel | Audi A4 35 TDI | €42,000 | ~€6,500 |
| Diesel SUV | Audi Q7 50 TDI | €90,000 | ~€36,900+ |
| Petrol | Audi A3 TFSI | €35,000 | ~€4,800 |
Based on official Revenue.ie VRT rates and valuation methods.
Audi imports are treated as Category A passenger vehicles, so VRT is a percentage of the Open Market Selling Price (OMSP) Revenue assigns, based on the WLTP CO₂ band. Higher trims such as S-Line and Black Edition carry a higher OMSP and often larger wheels that can nudge CO₂ into a higher band, while e-tron electric models benefit from relief.
Scenario: Audi A4 35 TDI, OMSP €42,000.
Note: Actual rates depend on the official band for your CO₂ value and the OMSP Revenue assigns to your specific Audi model and trim.
Yes. S-Line and Black Edition trims typically have a higher OMSP than base models, and their larger alloy wheels can push WLTP CO₂ figures into a higher tax band, increasing the VRT payable.
Fully electric Audi e-tron and Q4 e-tron models are zero-emission and may qualify for VRT relief (up to €5,000) on vehicles with an OMSP up to €40,000, tapering to zero relief at €50,000.
The NOx levy is calculated separately from VRT, based on the vehicle's NOx emissions in mg/km, and is capped at €4,850 for diesel models. If no NOx figure is available, the diesel default cap applies.
Use the WLTP CO₂ figure from the vehicle's V5C registration certificate or Certificate of Conformity (CoC). This is the figure Revenue uses to determine the applicable VRT band.
No, the same Category A VRT rules apply to all Audi passenger cars and SUVs. However, larger SUVs like the Q7 typically have both a higher OMSP and higher CO₂ emissions, resulting in significantly more VRT.
