I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the breakdown of taxes of fuels for 2011 was approximately €3178.2 million, which equates to 9.3% of the overall exchequer return receipts at the end of 2011.

Please note that the VAT receipts are estimated, as the VAT returns do not require the yield from a particular sector or sub-sector of trade to be identified and the actual VAT yield for each year on petroleum and auto diesel products cannot therefore be provided.
