Mineral Oil Tax is applied to mineral oil products which are released onto the market in the State by producers, importers and distributors located in the State. However, as part of the Government commitment to promote renewable energy I introduced a relief from Mineral Oil Tax for biofuel projects under the Finance Act, 2006. The relief from Mineral Oil Tax for biofuel projects under the Finance Act 2006 is confined to operators of approved projects in the State.
