Porsche VRT depends heavily on model and powertrain. The 911 and Cayenne/Panamera petrol models typically have high CO₂ figures and OMSP, often hitting the top 41% VRT band. The Taycan is fully electric and pays the lowest 7% rate, though its high OMSP usually exceeds the €50,000 EV relief threshold, so little or no relief applies in practice.
| Vehicle Type | Example Model | OMSP | Est. VRT |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electric | Porsche Taycan | €115,000 | ~€8,050 (7%, no relief above €50k) |
| Petrol SUV (PHEV) | Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid | €95,000 | ~€6,650 (7% band, illustrative) |
| Petrol | Porsche 911 Carrera | €130,000 | ~€48,100+ (37% band) |
| Petrol SUV | Porsche Macan | €70,000 | ~€17,500 (25% band, illustrative) |
Based on official Revenue.ie VRT rates and valuation methods.
Porsche imports fall under Category A passenger vehicles, so VRT is a percentage of the Open Market Selling Price (OMSP) Revenue assigns, based on the WLTP CO₂ band. Performance petrol models like the 911 typically have high CO₂ figures and OMSP, often reaching the top 41% band, while the fully electric Taycan pays the lowest 7% rate.
Scenario: Porsche Macan petrol, OMSP €70,000.
Note: Actual rates depend on the official band for your CO₂ value and the OMSP Revenue assigns to your specific Porsche model and trim.
Often, yes. The 911's performance-focused engines typically produce WLTP CO₂ emissions above 191g/km, which places it in the top VRT band at 41% of OMSP, combined with a high OMSP due to its premium pricing.
Not automatically. The Taycan is zero-emission and pays the lowest 7% VRT band, but its OMSP typically exceeds €50,000, which is above the threshold for the €5,000 EV relief — so most Taycan imports pay the full 7% with no relief.
The NOx levy is calculated separately from VRT, based on the vehicle's NOx emissions in mg/km, and is capped at €600 for petrol models — significantly lower than the €4,850 diesel cap.
Yes. Revenue adds the value of factory-fitted options (e.g. ceramic brakes, Sport Chrono Package, premium sound systems) to the OMSP, which increases the VRT payable since VRT is a percentage of OMSP.
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.
