I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the breakdown of Mineral Oil Tax, Carbon Tax and VAT out of €10 of petrol and auto-diesel at average prices is as follows:
Petrol | Diesel | |
€ | € | |
Mineral Oil Tax | 3.25 | 2.67 |
Carbon Tax | 0.27 | 0.33 |
VAT | 1.87 | 1.87 |
Total Tax | 5.39 | 4.87 |
The Mineral Oil Tax and Carbon Tax amounts were calculated using an average price of 166.9 cent per litre for petrol and 159.9 cent per litre for auto-diesel.
