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.
2011 | Excise | Carbon | Est VAT | Total |
€m | €m | |||
Auto diesel | 1078.3 | 97.5 | 62.0 | 1237.8 |
Petrol | 992.6 | 60.1 | 459.0 | 1511.7 |
Kerosene | 0 | 40.5 | 64.7 | 105.3 |
MGO | 50.6 | 48.9 | 97.7 | 197.2 |
Fuel Oil | 1.26 | 2.3 | 0.0 | 3.6 |
LPG (other) | 0 | 5.4 | 11.8 | 17.3 |
Auto LPG | 0.03 | 0.2 | 0.6 | 0.8 |
Natural Gas | 0 | 43.1 | 61.3 | 104.5 |
Total | 2122.8 | 298.2 | 757.2 | 3178.2 |
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.
