I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the estimated Excise,Carbon and VAT receipts for the years 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and the first three months of 2012 in respect of petrol and diesel is as follows:
| Petrol | Excise | Carbon Tax | VAT (Estimated) | Total |
| €m | €m | €m | €m | |
| 2009 | 1074.5 | 0 | 419.0 | 1,493.5 |
| 2010 | 981.2 | 65.1 | 438.8 | 1,485.1 |
| 2011 | 992.6 | 60.1 | 459.0 | 1,511.7 |
| 2012 (3 Mths) Prov | 258.7 | 18.3 | 120.0 | 397.0 |
| Auto Diesel | ||||
| 2009 | 1060.3 | 0 | 49.4 | 1,109.7 |
| 2010 | 1040.0 | 98.4 | 55.5 | 1,193.9 |
| 2011 | 1078.3 | 97.5 | 62.0 | 1,237.8 |
| 2012 (3 Mths) Prov | 285.0 | 30.2 | 17.0 | 332.2 |
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.
