Supplements and reductions only apply to cars first registered on or after 1 January 1998. They apply to all such cars, whether or not they have an approved CO2 emissions figure, although cars without such a figure cannot take advantage of the extra adjustment column above.
Unless the car falls into one of the categories for which adjustments are required, it is type P.
