I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that revenue generated for the State from petrol and auto-diesel in the calendar years 2007 to 2011 in respect of Mineral Oil Tax, Carbon Tax and Value Added Tax is as follows:
| Petrol | MOT | Carbon Tax | VAT (Estimated) | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
€m | €m | €m | €m | |
| 2007 | 1,050.7 | - | 465.2 | 1,515.9 |
| 2008 | 1,046.3 | - | 485.9 | 1,532.2 |
| 2009 | 1,074.5 | - | 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 |
MOT | Carbon Tax | VAT (Estimated) | Total | |
| Auto Diesel | €m | €m | €m | €m |
| 2007 | 1,076.3 | - | 57.0 | 1,133.3 |
| 2008 | 1,051.9 | - | 64.6 | 1,116.5 |
| 2009 | 1,060.3 | - | 49.4 | 1,109.7 |
| 2010 | 1,040.0 | 98.4 | 55.5 | 1,193.9 |
| 2011 | 1,078.3 | 97.5 | 62.0 | 1,237.8 |
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 category cannot therefore be determined.
