I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the tax take in respect of alcohol excise duty, tobacco excise duty and vehicle registration tax for each month since January 2004 to February 2009 is set out in the following tables. The figures provided in relation to 2008 and 2009 are provisional at this juncture.
The overall decline in excise yields in respect of alcohol, tobacco and vehicle registrations since 2007 reflects inter alia the general slowdown in economic activity.
