I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners a carbon tax at a rate of €15 per tonne should impact on the price of the goods highlighted by the Deputy as set out in the table below. It should be noted that a carbon tax came into effect on 10 December 2009 in respect of petrol and auto-diesel. The carbon tax on heating products will come into effect from 1 May 2010, and solid fuels by commencement order from a later date.
