I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the Mineral Oil Tax (MOT) and VAT content of a litre of petrol and diesel, based on current average prices, are shown in the table below.

The Deputy may be interested to note the 2014 figures are published on the Revenue statistics webpage at: . The MOT rates have remained unchanged, however the average price paid at the garage pump for both petrol and diesel has fallen therefore impacting the amount of VAT paid.
