I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the amounts of tax revenue collected from Mineral Oil Tax and VAT on these products for the years 2004 to 2007 and the first four months of 2008 are as follows:
| Mineral Oil Tax | 2004 | 2005 | 2006 | 2007 | 2008 |
| â'¬m | â'¬m | â'¬m | â'¬m | â'¬m | |
| Petrol | 970.7 | 1001.9 | 1026.4 | 1051.3 | 382.4 |
| Auto Diesel | 870.7 | 920.5 | 1016.7 | 1075.8 | 392.6 |
| Marked Gas Oil | 70.9 | 72.9 | 68.8 | 68.4 | 26.2 |
| Kerosene | 33.5 | 33.7 | 18.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 |
| Total | 1,945.8 | 2,029.0 | 2,129.9 | 2,195.5 | 801.2 |
| Estimated VAT Yield | 2004 | 2005 | 2006 | 2007 | 2008 |
| â'¬m | â'¬m | â'¬m | â'¬m | â'¬m | |
| Petrol | 342 | 393 | 440 | 465 | 177 |

| Marked Gas Oil | 48 | 65 | 73 | 70 | 31 |
| Kerosene | 51 | 69 | 79 | 77 | 46 |
| Total | 479 | 573 | 645 | 669 | 277 |
| Note: The VAT yield from petroleum products is estimated, as the information to be furnished on VAT returns does not require the yield from particular sectors of trade to be identified. It should also be noted that the VAT content of purchases of Auto Diesel is a deductible credit for business in the Irish VAT system. |
