85. To ask the Minister for Finance if he will provide, in tabular form, the yield from excise duty and value added tax on the sale of alcoholic products, in each year from 2010 to 2014; broken down by reference to licensed premises and off-licences; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the total amount of revenue generated for the Exchequer in each of the past five years from Excise and VAT on Alcohol is as shown in the table following. Please note that VAT receipts are estimated, as VAT returns do not require the yield from a particular product or activity to be identified. The receipts for 2014 are provisional and may be subject to revision.

I am further advised that information regarding on or off premises sales is not available, as Excise is collected on release from bond store rather than at point of sale, and VAT receipts cannot be analysed in that detail.
